Abstract
RVD occurred in approximately 40% of pediatric VAD recipients and affects their peri-implantation morbidity and bridging outcomes. Preoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and elevated urea were risk factors for BiVAD. Additional studies of the management of RVD in children after VAD implantation are warranted.
