  • Title: Centrimag right ventricular support after tricuspid valvectomy for endocarditis.
    Author: Guglin M, Glover C, Faber C, Caldeira C.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2013 Sep; 96(3):1064-5. PubMed ID: 23992700.
    Abstract:
    Recurrent endocarditis of a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve is a challenging condition, which sometimes requires complete valvectomy. We report a case in which a right ventricular assist device, a Thoratec Centrimag Blood Pump (Thoratec Corp., Pleasanton, CA), was successfully used for temporary hemodynamic support to protect the right ventricle until the new tricuspid bioprosthesis could be safely implanted.
