Ventricular and Atrial Pressure—Volume Loops: Analysis of the Effects Induced by Right Centrifugal Pump Assistance

Bioengineering, 2022
The main indications for right ventricular assist device (RVAD) support are right heart failure after implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or early graft failure following heart transplantation.

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

ESC 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 ...

Temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device Insertion via Left Thoracotomy after Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation. [PDF]

Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2019
Right heart failure is a relatively common complication after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Severe right heart failure can be managed by temporary right ventricular assist device (RVAD) implantation. However, trans-sternal RVAD insertion requires a subsequent third sternotomy for cannula removal.

Supporting the right ventricle in postcardiotomy renal dysfunction: A case series

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message Postcardiotomy RV dysfunction is an under‐recognized cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Insertion of a percutaneous right ventricular assist device (RVAD) reduces central venous hypertension and congestive nephropathy by augmenting ...

Right ventricular assist device with membrane oxygenator support for right ventricular failure following implantable left ventricular assist device placement [PDF]

European 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 ...
