A new right ventricular assist device for right ventricular support [PDF]
Right ventricular support by mechanical devices for postcardiotomy right heart failure is still associated with a high mortality. We report on the first use of a new paracardiac microaxial blood pump for postcardiotomy right heart failure in two patients undergoing emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (the first patient for a myocardial infarction

Biventricular assist devices and total artificial heart: Strategies and outcomes
In contrast to the advanced development of the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy for advanced heart failure, the mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with biventricular assist device (BVAD) and total artificial heart (TAH) options remain ...

PulseCath(R) as a right ventricular assist device [PDF]
The PulseCath(®) is a pulsatile pump that offers a circulatory support up to 3 l/min. The PulseCath(®) is indicated for patients who require a higher degree of support than that offered by the intra-aortic balloon pump. We describe the first two cases of the use of the PulseCath(®) as a temporary support for the right ventricle after insertion through ...

Successful use of a right ventricular assist device. [PDF]
Right ventricular failure caused by myocardial infarction may be refractory to treatment designed to support the systemic ventricle. A new type of right ventricular assist device driven by an impeller pump was successfully used for 79 hours after emergency revascularisation after right coronary occlusion. Despite renal failure requiring haemofiltration

Supporting the right ventricle in postcardiotomy renal dysfunction: A case series
Key Clinical Message Postcardiotomy RV dysfunction is an under‐recognized cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Insertion of a percutaneous right ventricular assist device (RVAD) reduces central venous hypertension and congestive nephropathy by augmenting ...

The effect of transfusion of blood products on ventricular assist device support outcomes
Aims Perioperative blood transfusions are common among patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. The association between blood product transfusion at the time of LVAD implantation and mortality has not been described ...

Straining With the Ventricular Assist Device and Right Ventricular Function
We read with great interest the paper by Grant et al. ([1][1]) in which they provide an analysis to support the use of strain imaging as a unique echocardiographic measure to predict right ventricular (RV) failure in patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement.
