    This study introduces right ventricular balloon pumping (RVBP) to support cardiac function. RVBP effectively maintains pulmonary arterial blood flow and normal central venous pressure, even compensating for right ventricular failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Right ventricular dysfunction significantly impacts cardiac output and venous pressure.
    • Existing methods for supporting the right ventricle are limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel method for mechanical circulatory support of the right ventricle.
    • To assess the efficacy of right ventricular balloon pumping (RVBP) in maintaining hemodynamic stability.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a polyurethane balloon (15 ml unstretched volume) for insertion into the right ventricle.
    • RVBP was tested in conditions with absent and weakened natural heartbeats.
    • Hemodynamic parameters including pulmonary arterial blood flow and central venous pressure were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • RVBP maintained pulmonary arterial blood flow above 80 ml/min/kg body weight and normal central venous pressure, even with absent cardiac activity, when combined with LVA.
    • In cases of weakened heartbeats, RVBP compensated for right ventricular failure, with flow augmentation dependent on the severity of failure.
    • Tricuspid valve regurgitation was minimal during RVBP.

    Conclusions:

    • Right ventricular balloon pumping is a viable method for supporting right ventricular function.
    • RVBP can effectively maintain adequate pulmonary blood flow and normalize central venous pressure in various states of right ventricular compromise.
    • The technique shows promise for managing right heart failure and supporting circulation.
