  • Title: A new off-pump technique for thoratec right ventricular assist device insertion.
    Author: Rao V, Oz MC, Edwards NM, Naka Y.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2001 May; 71(5):1719-20. PubMed ID: 11383845.
    Abstract:
    The need for right ventricular support as an adjunct to left ventricular assistance is uncommon. When required, the insertion of a right ventricular assist device may be complicated by preexisting hepatic dysfunction, coagulation abnormalities, and renal failure, all of which are exacerbated by cardiopulmonary bypass. We report a technique for insertion of a right ventricular assist device without the need for cardiopulmonary bypass.
