The use of a durable right ventricular assist device for isolated right ventricular failure due to combined pre- and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension
Patients with isolated right ventricular (RV) failure have poor outcomes and minimal treatment options. We report a case where a durable RV assist device (RVAD) was implanted for end-stage RV failure from combined pre- and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) due in part to chronic thromboembol...
