Abstract

Acute right ventricular failure (ARVF) can occur as a result of myocardial infarction, myocarditis, or postcardiotomy. Devices including implantable right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) and short-term microaxial devices offer improved hemodynamic support in this syndrome. Although the prognosis of ARVF has historically been grim, few studies have examined outcomes in the era of mechanical circulatory support. In this study, we describe our experience with mechanical right ventricular support in patients with ARVF.
