    Right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) failure often coexist. Mechanical assist devices like RHBP and PABC can support RV function, with RHBP being more powerful for severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology

    Background:

    • Right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) failure frequently coexist.
    • RV failure can stem from primary RV insult or increased pulmonary vascular resistance.
    • LV failure elevates left atrial pressure, reducing the transpulmonary hydrostatic gradient and impacting RV function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management of coexisting RV and LV failure.
    • To evaluate the role of mechanical assist devices in RV failure.
    • To compare the efficacy of RV assist devices.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of experimental evidence and clinical results.
    • Discussion of treatment strategies for RV and LV failure.
    • Evaluation of two mechanical assist devices: RHBP and PABC.

    Main Results:

    • Treatment should prioritize restoring LV function.
    • For persistent RV failure, mechanical assist devices are considered.
    • RHBP is highly effective for severe RV failure, while PABC may be suitable for less depressed RV function.

    Conclusions:

    • RHBP is the gold standard for severe RV failure.
    • PABC shows promise for specific RV failure scenarios.
    • Further clinical experience is needed to define PABC's role in RV failure management.
