Right ventricular support after implantation of a Novacor Left Ventricular Assist Device.
The objective was to determine which factors might help to predict the need for mechanical right ventricular support following insertion of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). A retrospective analysis was performed on 24 patients with cardiomyopathies who had insertion of a LVAD as a bridge to heart transplantation at Presbyterian University Hospital during the period 1987 to 1991. Group...
متن کاملLeft ventricular assist device support normalizes left and right ventricular beta-adrenergic pathway properties.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that some aspects of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) reverse remodeling could be independent of hemodynamic factors and would primarily depend upon normalization of neurohormonal milieu. BACKGROUND The relative contributions of LVAD-induced hemodynamic unloading (provided to the left ventricle [LV]) and normalized neurohormonal milieu (provided to LV and right...
متن کاملSurvival after left ventricular assist device with and without temporary right ventricular support.
BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) failure after the insertion of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) historically results in poor outcomes. Patients requiring temporary RV support after LVAD insertion are a heterogeneous group of patients consisting of those in cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction, to those with chronic decompensated heart failure. For patients requiring biventricu...
متن کاملRight ventricular hypertrabeculation due to right heart failure after left ventricular assist device implantation.
DESCRIPTION Hypertrabeculation/non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (HVM/NVM) is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium between the fetal 5th and 8th weeks, resulting in persistence of multiple prominent ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. The myocardium of the left ventricle is most often affected...
متن کاملRight ventricular temporal assist device for cardiac recompensation
In this case report, we discuss treatment of a 66-year-old patient with right heart failure due to chronic left heart failure caused by ischemic cardiomyopathy. We decided to manage this patient by implanting a temporary right ventricular assist device (Impella RP®) as a novel therapeutic option for acute on chronic right heart decompensation.
