Abstract
Right ventricular failure following cardiac surgery must be rapidly diagnosed and treated to minimize injury to the heart. Switching from aortic to pulmonary artery perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass is a method of rapidly testing the adequacy of right ventricular function and supporting the ventricle if necessary. A centrifugal pump has been used for long-term support for two cases managed in this manner.
