Development of a Small Implantable Right Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]

open access: bronzeASAIO Journal, 2005
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

open access: bronzeASAIO Journal, 2006
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

open access: bronzeThe Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2013
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]

open access: bronzeThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
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]

open access: bronzeThe Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2018
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]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
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.

Case report: Facilitating right heart recovery after durable LVAD implantation through repair of atrioventricular valves and RVAD implantation using tunneled Dacron grafts

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
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

Experience with percutaneous right ventricular support in the early post-left ventricular assist device implantation period (clinical case report and literature reviews)

open access: yesВестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2023
Implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a state-of-the-art treatment for adults and children with end-stage heart failure. The early and late period after LVAD implantation can be severely complicated.
