Abstract
Low-flow RV mechanical support improved arterial blood pressure in both conditions but caused a more profound unloading in the chronic group. Diastolic unloading was successful in both groups, but systolic unloading was successful only in the chronic group. The potential use of low-flow mechanical support for a chronic pressure overloaded right ventricle warrants further research to assess its long-term effects.
