Abstract
The results of perioperative RVAD support in LVAD recipients with biventricular dysfunction are encouraging. Temporary RVAD support allows an already compromised RV to become attuned to the hemodynamic conditions after LVAD implantation. This strategy provides patients with preoperative impaired RV function a high likelihood to permanently undergo LVAD support only.
