An inflow conduit system including an inflow conduit having a distal end, a proximal end, and a body portion extending therebetween, and an apical cuff assembly having a sleeve portion and a ring portion. When in use, the apical cuff assembly is disposed over the inflow conduit such that a predetermined tip length of the body portion is defined between the distal end of the inflow conduit and the ring portion, the predetermined tip length being determinable based upon a position of the sleeve portion relative to the inflow conduit. |
