Summary

Right ventricular failure is a common post-operative issue with limited drug treatments. Pulmonary artery counterpulsation offers a simple, effective mechanical support method for failing hearts.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Mechanical Circulatory Support

Background:

  • Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery.
  • Limited pharmacological options exist for managing RVF.
  • Post-operative heart failure often involves the right ventricle.

Observation:

  • Pulmonary artery counterpulsation (PAC) is a readily available mechanical support modality in cardiovascular units.
  • PAC can be implemented as a therapeutic strategy for RVF.

Findings:

  • This study reviews the authors' experience and existing literature on PAC for RVF.
  • Indications for using PAC to support a failing right ventricle were determined.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • PAC represents a practical and effective non-pharmacological treatment for RVF.
  • Wider adoption of PAC could improve outcomes for patients with post-operative heart failure.
