Isolated right ventricular unloading for postcardiotomy right ventricular failure in a child

YI Kim, P Ferdinande, W Flameng and W Daenen
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, University Hospital Gasthuisberg, Belgium.

Severe right ventricular (RV) failure after total correction of double outlet RV (DORV) with pulmonary atresia was completely reversed with extracorporeal mechanical RV unloading in a 2.5-year-old child. The patient could be weaned after 168 h of RV assist device (RVAD) support using a centrifugal Bio-Medicus pump and was discharged from the hospital without adverse effects. This experience of isolated RV unloading in a child encourages further application of RVAD in pediatric patients.
