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

COVID-19 Induced Right Ventricular Failure and Right Ventricular Assist Device Support [PDF]
COVID-19, while primarily recognized for its pulmonary and systemic manifestations, afflicts the cardiovascular system through various abnormalities. Notably, right ventricular (RV) involvement leading to dysfunction and failure is a manifestation seen ...

Outcomes After Extracorporeal Right Ventricular Assist Device Combined With Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Support [PDF]
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 ...

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

OBJECTIVES Between 10% and 40% of patients who receive a left ventricular assistance device (LVAD) suffer from right ventricular failure (RVF) shortly after the device is implanted. Patients with post-LVAD RVF tend to have poor outcomes.
