Right Ventricular Failure After Left Ventricular Assist Device

Cardiology Clinics, 2020
Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remains common in the contemporary, continuous-flow era. Clinically meaningful, reproducible, and consensus definitions of both early and late right ventricular failure after LVAD are needed for progress in advanced heart failure.

Right Ventricular Assist Devices After Heart Transplantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2020
Severe right ventricular failure (RVF) has a significant incidence among cardiac transplant patients. It is a serious complication and an independent risk factor for postoperative mortality. In this setting, ventricular assist devices (VADs) must be considered if conservative medical management fails. This study sought to examine our series of patients

A right ventricular cardiac assist device

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1981
A good method of assisting the right ventricle of the heart has, up to the present, not been available. This paper presents a new approach to assisting the right ventricle of the heart which can be utilised independently or during cardiac surgery. Through implementation of this approach, and timed inflation and deflation of several types of balloon ...

RIGHT VENTRICULAR PERFORMANCE AND LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE FILLING

ASAIO Journal, 1996
Right ventricular (RV) function is believed to be an important determinant of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) filling. This study was designed to demonstrate this relation in patients.To demonstrate the interaction between RV ejection and LVAD filling, 10 patients (mean age, 49 +/- 13 years) supported with an LVAD were studied.

Right Ventricular Assist Device Therapies

2020
This chapter discusses right ventricular assist device (RVAD) therapies. Current RVAD options include the Impella Right Peripheral, the Tandem Heart, the Protek Duo system, and a surgically placed CentriMag RVAD. Important considerations when choosing a device include operator familiarity, the need for an oxygenator, the availability of a surgeon, and ...

Development of Implantable Right Ventricular Assist Device

ASAIO Journal, 2004
Implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs) are indicated for long waiting periods before transplantation and also as a destination therapy. Meanwhile, right ventricular failure (RVF) is one of the four major complications observed in patients after left VAD (LVAD) implantation, with an incidence of approximately 20%.
