Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is associated with high mortality. Management remains limited to pharmacologic therapy and temporary mechanical support. Delayed right ventricular assist device (RVAD) support after LVAD implantation is associated with poorer outcomes. With the advent of miniaturized, durable, continuous flow ventricular assist device systems, chronic RVAD and biventricular assist device (BiVAD) support has been used with some success. The purpose of this study was to assess combined BiVAD and LVAD with delayed RVAD support within a four-elemental mock circulatory loop (MCL) simulating the human cardiovascular system. Our hypothesis was that delayed continuous flow RVAD (RVAD) would produce similar hemodynamic and flow parameters to those of initial BiVAD support. Using the MCL, baseline biventricular heart failure with elevated right and left filling pressures with low cardiac output was simulated. The addition of LVAD within a biventricular configuration improved cardiac output somewhat, but was associated with persistent right heart failure with elevated right-sided filling pressures. The addition of an RVAD significantly improved LVAD outputs and returned filling pressures to normal throughout the circulation. In conclusion, RVAD support successfully restored hemodynamics and flow parameters of biventricular failure supported with isolated LVAD with persistent elevated right atrial pressure.

:左心室辅助装置(LVAD)植入后的右心室衰竭与高死亡率相关。管理仍限于药物治疗和临时机械支持。 LVAD植入后延迟的右心室辅助设备(RVAD)支持与较差的预后相关。随着小型,耐用,连续流动的心室辅助设备系统的出现,慢性RVAD和双心室辅助设备(BiVAD)的支持已获得成功。这项研究的目的是评估BiVAD和LVAD的结合,以及在模拟人类心血管系统的四元素模拟循环回路(MCL)中的RVAD延迟支持。我们的假设是,延迟连续血流RVAD(RVAD)会产生与最初的BiVAD支持相似的血液动力学和血流参数。使用MCL,模拟了基线的双心室心力衰竭,其中左右充盈压升高,心输出量低。在双心室构型中添加LVAD可以改善心输出量,但与持续性右心衰竭以及右侧充盈压升高有关。添加RVAD可以显着改善LVAD的输出,并使整个循环中的填充压力恢复正常。综上所述,RVAD支持成功恢复了孤立性LVAD伴持续性右心房压力持续升高的双室衰竭的血流动力学和血流参数。
