A Discussion on Pragmatic tMCS in Acute Right Ventricular Failure on JHLT: The Podcast
On the first November episode of JHLT: The Podcast, three expert guests discuss their paper entitled “Pragmatic approach to temporary mechanical circulatory support in acute right ventricular failure.”
You can also stream the podcast on Spotify, Amazon, iTunes, and anywhere else you get podcasts.
You’ll hear from first author Anthony Carnicelli, MD, from the Medical University of South Carolina; Alexander Bernhardt, MD, from the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf; and senior author Manreet Kanwar, MD, of the Cardiovascular Institute at Allegheny Health Network.
The episode explores:
- Parameters that influence deciding when to escalate RV support
- Determining which device is right for each patient
- Evaluating a patient for the correct anticoagulants
- Device-related complications and solutions
- What’s next in research for tMCS and acute RV failure
