Technique and Results with a Roller Pump for Ventricular Assistance

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Although it is relatively infrequent for the utilization of ventricular assist devices (VADs) to be required for profound heart failure following cardiac surgical procedures, there have been a number of reports of increasing success with the use of these devices [1–6]. Furthermore, the role of VADs has expanded with their utilization as a bridge to transplantation [7, 8] and as a support device for patients with cardiogenic shock following myocardial infarction [9]. A variety of devices for ventricular assistance have been employed. We have used a roller pump driven device since 1978, and this system is relatively effective, easy to use, and inexpensive. This report summarizes our experience with the use of a roller pump left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and right ventricular assist device (RVAD) and also a newly developed percutaneously inserted LVAD.
