Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist devices [PDF]

The 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 ...

A new right ventricular assist device for right ventricular support [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2003
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

Technical considerations for percutaneous pulmonary artery cannulation for mechanical circulatory supportCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Techniques, 2023
Objectives: Percutaneous pulmonary artery cannulas, used as inflow for left ventricular venting or as outflow for right ventricular mechanical circulatory support, are easily and rapidly deployable with transesophageal and fluoroscopic guidance. Methods:

Practice Issues for Evaluation and Management of the Suicidal Left Ventricular Assist Device Patient [PDF]

, 2020
There is a high prevalence of depression among left ventricular assist device patients, who present with an increased risk of suicidality given access to means via the device either with nonadherence or disconnection.

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Cannulation for Right Ventricular Assist Device Implantation [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
A need persists for implantable devices that provide support for the failing right ventricle. The anatomy of the right ventricle presents unique challenges at the time of right ventricular assist device implant. We describe a technique for right ventricular outflow tract cannulation that minimizes the risk of right ventricular assist device inflow ...

Usefulness of regional right ventricular and right atrial strain for prediction of early and late right ventricular failure following a left ventricular assist device implant: A machine learning approach [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Identifying candidates for left ventricular assist device surgery at risk of right ventricular failure remains difficult. The aim was to identify the most accurate predictors of right ventricular failure among clinical, biological, and ...

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]

, 2014
Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

PulseCath(R) as a right ventricular assist device [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2011
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 ...

The effect of transfusion of blood products on ventricular assist device support outcomes

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
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 ...
