Right ventricular (RV) failure remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality for
patients with advanced heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or acute myocardial infarction …

BACKGROUND: Medically refractory right ventricular failure (MR-RVF) is associated with
high in-hospital mortality and is managed with surgical assist devices, atrial septostomy, or …

Background Acute right ventricular failure (ARVF) refractory to optimal medical management
may require rescue therapy with mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The RV exhibits a …

Introduction This is a state-of-the-art article of the diagnostic process, etiologies and
management of acute right ventricular (RV) failure in critically ill patients. It is based on a …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the clinical utility of a commercially available
centrifugal flow pump as a centrifugal flow-right ventricular support device (CF-RVSD) in …

BACKGROUND: Patients with acute right ventricular (RV) failure after cardiotomy have a
poor prognosis. We evaluated the surgical and long-term outcomes of patients with isolated …

Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex clinical syndrome that results from many
causes. Research efforts have disproportionately focused on the failing left ventricle, but …

BACKGROUND: Short-term mechanical circulatory support may be lifesaving in patients
with right ventricular (RV) failure related to post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) …

OBJECTIVE Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a life-threatening condition with a poor
prognosis, and sometimes the use of mechanical circulatory support is inevitable. In this …

BACKGROUND: Management of right ventricular (RV) failure after left ventricular assist
device (LVAD) implantation is not evidence based. Temporary circulatory assistance has …
