Abstract:
Left ventricular assist devices(LVAD) has become the main treatment for advanced heart failure, which effectively reduced the mortality of patients with advanced heart failure. However, postoperative right ventricular failure(RVF) has been a long-term challenge in the treatment of LVAD. At present, postoperative RVF is not only difficult to predict, but also difficult to treat. The lack of long-term right ventricular assist device has limited the impact that mechanical circulatory support can provide to patients with biventricular failure. This review summarizes the prevention and treatment of right heart failure after left ventricular assist device transplantation and explores the direction of future research.
