Limitations to Chronic Right Ventricular Assist Device Support [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016 Failure of the right ventricle represents a significant clinical problem and may have different causes, with rates varying between 5% and 50% in patients supported by a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). However, treatment options and device development for right ventricular failure (RVF) have significantly lagged behind those for LVADs.

Outcomes After Extracorporeal Right Ventricular Assist Device Combined With Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Support [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2019 Right heart failure occurs in 9% to 44% of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implants, of which less than 10% require right ventricular assist device (RVAD) support either concurrently with the LVAD or staged, as a delayed procedure. We have reported our outcomes based on whether the RVAD was placed concurrently or staged.Clinical data were ...
