Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

open access: yesHearts
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

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 ...

Right Ventricular Failure Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

open access: diamondWorld Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is being used increasingly in recent years for end stage heart failure as a bridge to transplant (BTT) and also as a destination therapy (DT). Patients with end stage heart failure have some degree of elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, causing right ventricular hypertrophy which in due course leads to

Right and left ventricular assist devices are an option for bridge to heart transplantCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yesJTCVS Open, 2022
Background: Patients with a left ventricular assist device with right ventricular failure are prioritized on the heart transplant waitlist; however, their post-transplant survival is less well characterized.

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.

Biventricular assist devices and total artificial heart: Strategies and outcomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
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 ...
