Biventricular Pressure‐Volume Loop Analysis in an LVAD Patient Optimized With Impella RP Flex
ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a serious complication which may necessitate temporary mechanical support in refractory cases. Here we describe a 63‐year‐old man with end‐stage ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe combined pre‐ and post‐capillary pulmonary hypertension who developed ...
