Preoperative Percutaneous RVAD to Preemptively Treat Right Heart Failure Post-LVAD

Prior studies have shown that left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation commonly results in right ventricular failure (RVF). Right ventricular dysfunction and failure after LVAD implantation is known to increase morbidity and mortality and contribute to longer post-implant hospital length of stay. Since RVF is difficult to predict and can …
