[Assisted circulation for volume relief of the right heart ventricle]
1Zentrum der physiologischen Wissenschaften, Slowakischen Akademie, Bratislava, CSSR.
Abstract:
The model of the failure of the right ventricle was formed in dog experiments. The animals were connected with the right mechanically assisted circulation. The blood was pumped synchronously with the heart action from the right atrium directly to the pulmonary artery by temporary bypass of the right ventricle. The right volume relief improved (p less than 0.03) the decisive hemodynamic parameters. The value of assisted circulation in case of the hitherto only difficulty to controlled failure of the right ventricle is proved with that.
