Impella RP as a bridge to cardiac transplant for refractory late right ventricular failure in setting of left ventricular assist device

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2020
Right ventricular (RV) failure remains a major complication after surgical implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). While the use of a percutaneous RV assist device has been described as a short‐term bridge to recovery in end‐stage heart ...

Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist devices [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2015
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]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2015
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 ...
