Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a major cause of morbidity and early postoperative mortality in patients suffering from end-stage heart failure who have undergone placement of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) [1]. Poor LVAD output with prolonged shock in the case of RV failure may lead to deterioration in the function of pre-damaged end organs. Right ventricular assist device (RVAD) insertion in this case is a valid therapy option.
