Data Files:

• Echo Loop 1 -
  Video 1: Mid esophageal long axis TEE 2D view showing a ventricular assist device inflow cannula angulated towards the anteroseptal wall.
• Echo Loop 2 -
  Video 2: Mid esophageal 4-chamber long axis TEE view showing the ventricular assist device inflow cannula angulated towards the anteroseptal wall. Turbulent flow through the cannula tip can be seen in the Color flow Doppler window.
• Echo Loop 3 -
  Video 3: Same view as in video 1 after inflow cannula repositioning. The cannula can be seen with non-turbulent, laminar flow by color flow Doppler and appropriate decompression of the left ventricular chamber.
