Systolic and diastolic unloading by mechanical support of the acute vs the chronic pressure overloaded right ventricle.

BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) mechanical support is well described in cases of sudden increase in RV afterload. In cases of chronic RV pressure overload (e.g., pulmonary arterial hypertension), it has rarely been described. METHODS The pulmonary artery was banded in 18 sheep. In the acute group (n = 9), we immediately implanted a Synergy Pocket Micro-Pump. Blood was withdrawn from the rig...

Combined pulmonary and left ventricular support with veno-pulmonary ECMO and impella 5.0 for cardiogenic shock after coronary surgery

BACKGROUND Mechanical circulatory support is a common practice nowadays in the management of patients after cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction. The single or combined use of one or more devices for mechanical support depends not only on the advantage or disadvantage of these devices but also on the timing of use of these devices before the development of multi organ failure. In our ...

Effects of the HeartMate II continuous-flow left ventricular assist device on right ventricular function.

BACKGROUND Continuous-flow devices have become the standard of care for mechanical circulatory support for end-stage heart failure patients because of improved survival and durability. The effects of these devices, such as the HeartMate II (HMII) left ventricular assist device (LVAD), on right ventricular (RV) function have not been evaluated in detail. This study evaluated the incidence of RV ...

Myocardial Performance after Successful Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND Myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index is a Doppler-derived index of combined systolic and diastolic myocardial function, calculated as the sum of isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) and isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) divided by the ejection time (ET). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the right and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function using MPI in children before an...

Surgical Treatment of Advanced Heart Failure- Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation and Adjuvant Tricuspid Valve Repair

Cardiac transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage heart failure. Insufficient number of donors in all health systems resulted in the need for intensive development of devices for mechanical circulatory support. Right ventricular failure (RVF) combined with major tricuspid insufficiency among the group of patients who are candidates for the left ventricular assist dev...

Interventional Therapies for Right Ventricular Failure Secondary to Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension

Marc de Perrot, MD Division of Thoracic Surgery, University Health Network University of Toronto Toronto, ON Patients with pulmonary hypertension that progress to acute decompensation present high mortality rates. The main mechanism of death in this population is right ventricular failure. Once this scenario becomes refractory to optimized medical therapies, mechanical support is increasingly c...
