Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure
population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early …

This comprehensive review highlights the significant advancements in Left Ventricular Assist
Device (LVAD) therapy, emphasizing its evolution from the early pulsatile flow systems to the …

Aims Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a
major concern that remains challenging to predict. We sought to investigate the relationship …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a significant cause of mortality in patients undergoing left
ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Although right ventricular assist devices …

Objectives This study evaluated whether the postoperative pulmonary artery pulsatility index
(PAPi) is associated with postoperative right ventricular dysfunction after durable left …

The Impella 5.5 left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is typically placed in a hybrid operating
room with fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance under general anesthesia. In this …

Right ventricular dysfunction is a prognostic factor for morbidity and mortality across a broad
spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. While the role of the right ventricle in surgical patients …

Background. The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been shown to correlate with
right ventricular (RV) failure in patients with cardiac disease. However, the association of …

Background Prediction of outcomes remains an unmet need in candidates for LVADs. The
development of right-heart failure portends an excess in mortality rates, but imaging …

Preleft ventricular assist device (LVAD) risk stratification is integral in identifying patients
predisposed to right ventricular failure (RVF). 1 To date, clinical scoring models such as the …
