Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage

Vacuum-Assisted Venous Drainage (VAVD) is a technique used during heart surgeries to help drain blood from the heart’s veins. By applying gentle suction with a controlled vacuum, it enhances the removal of blood from the surgical site, keeping the field clear and improving visibility. This method allows for better control of blood flow, reduces the need for traditional drainage methods, and can shorten surgery time. It’s a safe, effective tool that aids surgeons in performing complex cardiac procedures with increased precision and efficiency.
