| Zusammenfassung: | Right ventricular failure after placement of left ventricular assist device in paediatric heart failure is associated with increased mortality. We report successful use of intravenous prostacyclin for right ventricular support and pulmonary hypertension after initiation of left ventricular assist device support. This suggests that intravenous prostacyclins may be an important therapy in right ventricular failure following ventricular assist device implantation. |
