A coronary perfusion device comprises a first conduit and a second conduit. The first conduit and the second conduit can extend through the coronary ostia into the left and right coronary arteries when the coronary perfusion device is installed downstream of the aortic valve. In some examples, the coronary perfusion device comprises a circumferential channel extending between the first conduit and the second conduit. The circumferential channel can also define a trough to collect retrograde blood flow. The coronary perfusion device can also comprise an annular frame to secure the first conduit, the second conduit, and the circumferential channel relative to the native aorta. In some examples, the annular frame can be radially expandable or compressible to facilitate transcatheter delivery.
