Right ventricular assist devices are crucial for heart failure management, but their specific uses are less defined than left ventricular support. This review covers current knowledge on implanting these devices for various right heart failure scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Ventricular assist systems are vital in managing acute and chronic heart failure.
  • Left ventricular support indications are well-established.
  • Criteria for right ventricular support remain less defined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current knowledge on right ventricular support implantation.
  • To outline clinical settings where right ventricular support is utilized.
  • To clarify indications for right ventricular device use.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current knowledge on right ventricular support.
  • Analysis of clinical settings including isolated right heart failure, biventricular failure, postcardiotomy failure, and post-LVAD right heart failure.

Main Results:

  • Established indications for left ventricular support contrast with less defined criteria for right ventricular support.
  • Right ventricular support is used in diverse clinical scenarios.
  • The report consolidates information on implantation practices.

Conclusions:

  • Right ventricular support plays a significant role in specific heart failure contexts.
  • Further definition of criteria for right ventricular support is needed.
  • This summary aids in understanding the application of these devices.
