A new right ventricular cardiac assist device.

R T Gordon, D Gordon

    Medical Hypotheses
    |November 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel method assists the right ventricle using timed balloon catheter inflation in the pulmonary artery. This approach unloads the right heart, benefiting patients with heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Current methods for assisting the right ventricle are insufficient.
    • Right ventricular dysfunction is a critical issue in various cardiovascular conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new, effective method for right ventricular assistance.
    • To demonstrate the utility of this method in both standalone and intraoperative settings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing timed inflation and deflation of balloon catheters within the pulmonary artery.
    • Implementing a technique to augment distal pulmonary arterial flow.

    Main Results:

    • Successful augmentation of pulmonary arterial flow.
    • Demonstrated unloading of the right side of the heart.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented method offers a promising new approach for right ventricular support.
    • This technique holds significant potential for treating atherosclerotic heart disease, congenital heart disease, and pulmonary hypertension.
