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

Left Ventricular Assist Device in Right Ventricular Failure

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2013
Purpose Left ventricular (LV) assist device (AD) placement for end-stage LV failure (F) is contraindicated with co-existing right ventricular (RV) F. We propose a strategic pre-op management (“HF tune up”) prior to LVAD allowing safe LVAD implant despite RVF. Methods and Materials This single center study identified 47 patients (pts) who underwent

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 ...

Right Ventricular Assist Device With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Bridging Right Ventricular Heart Failure to Lung Transplantation: A Single-Center Case Series and Literature Review.

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2021
OBJECTIVE Right ventricular heart failure (RVHF) is a critical complication in patients with respiratory failure, particularly among those who transitioned to lung transplantation using venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). In these

Bedside Right Ventricular Assist Device Removal in the Conscious Patient [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
A technique is described for simple bedside removal of a right ventricular assist device system from a conscious patient. This technique allows weaning from the support of the right ventricular assist device without the confounding hemodynamic challenges of positive pressure ventilation and sternal closure.

Novel percutaneous dual-lumen cannula-based right ventricular assist device provides effective support for refractory right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation.

Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2020
OBJECTIVES Right heart failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A new generation of percutaneous right ventricular assist devices (RVADs) may mitigate the need for invasive ...

Successful use of a right ventricular assist device. [PDF]

Heart, 1987
Right ventricular failure caused by myocardial infarction may be refractory to treatment designed to support the systemic ventricle. A new type of right ventricular assist device driven by an impeller pump was successfully used for 79 hours after emergency revascularisation after right coronary occlusion. Despite renal failure requiring haemofiltration

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 ...

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 ...
