Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist devices [PDF]
Most patients with advanced systolic dysfunction who are assessed for a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) also have some degree of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Hence, RV failure (RVF) remains a common complication of LVAD placement. Severe RVF after LVAD implantation is associated with increased peri-operative mortality and length of stay ...

Right ventricular assist device with membrane oxygenator support for right ventricular failure following implantable left ventricular assist device placement [PDF]
Cardiogenic shock from refractory right ventricular (RV) failure during left ventricular assist device placement is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The addition of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to RV mechanical assistance may help RV recovery and lead to improved outcomes.We retrospectively reviewed all implanted continuous-flow ...
