Development of a Small Implantable Right Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]
The purpose of this program is to design, develop, and clinically evaluate a new, implantable right ventricular assist device (RVAD) that can be used as a component of an implantable biventricular assist device for patients with severe biventricular heart failure. The initial phase of this program resulted in a prototype RVAD, named DexAide, a modified

Ventricular Assist Device Implantation Using a Right Thoracotomy
Most patients needing implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD) require repeated sternotomy; some after cardiac surgery, and others later for heart transplantation. The purpose of this study was to establish the right thoracotomy technique as an alternative for VAD implantation to reduce repeated sternotomy-related morbidity and mortality.

Left Ventricular Assist Device in Right Ventricular Failure
Purpose Left ventricular (LV) assist device (AD) placement for end-stage LV failure (F) is contraindicated with co-existing right ventricular (RV) F. We propose a strategic pre-op management (“HF tune up”) prior to LVAD allowing safe LVAD implant despite RVF. Methods and Materials This single center study identified 47 patients (pts) who underwent

Bedside Right Ventricular Assist Device Removal in the Conscious Patient [PDF]
A technique is described for simple bedside removal of a right ventricular assist device system from a conscious patient. This technique allows weaning from the support of the right ventricular assist device without the confounding hemodynamic challenges of positive pressure ventilation and sternal closure.

Outcomes After Extracorporeal Right Ventricular Assist Device Combined With Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Support [PDF]
Right heart failure occurs in 9% to 44% of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implants, of which less than 10% require right ventricular assist device (RVAD) support either concurrently with the LVAD or staged, as a delayed procedure. We have reported our outcomes based on whether the RVAD was placed concurrently or staged.Clinical data were ...

Temporary Right-Ventricular Assist Devices: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Acute right-sided heart failure (RHF) is a complex clinical syndrome, with a wide range of clinical presentations, associated with increased mortality and morbidity, but about which there is a scarcity of evidence-based literature. A temporary right-ventricular assist device (t-RVAD) is a potential treatment option for selected patients with severe ...

Supporting the “forgotten” ventricle: The evolution of percutaneous RVADs
Right heart failure (RHF) can occur as the result of an acute or chronic disease process and is a challenging clinical condition for surgeons and interventionalists to treat.

Right ventricular assist device (RVAD) weaning is often an important goal for durable left ventricular assist device support. This may be facilitated by mitral and tricuspid repair as well as by minimizing the trauma of RVAD decannulation by using Dacron
