Most patients with advanced systolic dysfunction who are assessed for a left ventricular
assist device (LVAD) also have some degree of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Hence …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation
remains a major complication which may significantly impair patient outcome. The genesis …

Acute heart failure (AHF) represents a broad spectrum of disease states, resulting from the
interaction between an acute precipitant and a patient's underlying cardiac substrate and …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) complicates 20–50% of left ventricular assist device (LVAD)
implantation cases and contributes to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality …

Background Preexisting valve pathology is common in patients with end-stage heart failure
undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement. The indications and subsequent …

Background Performing concomitant tricuspid valve procedures (TVPs) in left ventricular
assist device (LVAD) patients with significant pre-operative tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is …

Background The optimal management of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing
left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is controversial. This study was undertaken …

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are safer and provide better survival and better
quality of life than biventricular assist devices (BVADs) but end-stage heart failure often …

Background Continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (CF LVAD) are being implanted
with increasing frequency for end‐stage heart failure. At the time of LVAD implant, a large …
