Tunneling A Pulmonary Artery Graft: A Simplified Way To Insert And Remove A Temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device, Pankaj Saxena, Silvana F Marasco

The Texas Heart Institute Journal

Right ventricular failure can occur early or late after left ventricular assist device implantation. Support with a right ventricular assist device is needed in patients whose right ventricular failure does not respond to conservative management. The use of a temporary right ventricular assist device can enable the recovery of right ventricular function and avoid the use of a more permanent biventricular assist device, which is associated with complications and higher costs. We present our technique of instituting temporary right ventricular assist device support in patients who have undergone left ventricular assist device implantation.

Successful Left Ventricular Assist Device Support In Patient With Bjork-Shiley Mitral Valve Replacement, Navin Rajagopalan, David C. Booth

The VAD Journal

There is limited clinical experience with left ventricular assist device therapy in patients with prosthetic mitral valves. We present a case of successful left ventricular assist device support in a patient with previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.
