1 Is severe right ventricular failure in left ventricular assist device recipients a risk factor for unsuccessful bridging to transplant and post-transplant mortality  Jeffrey A Morgan, MD, Ranjit John, MD, Brian J Lee, BA, Mehmet C Oz, MD, Yoshifumi Naka, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 77, Issue 3, Pages (March 2004) DOI: /j.athoracsur

2 Fig 1 Actuarial post-transplant survival for patients supported with RVAD versus those patients without severe right ventricular failure. (RVAD = right ventricular assist device.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

3 Fig 2 Algorithm for assessment of RV failure after insertion of an LVAD. (ICU = intensive care unit; LVAD = left ventricular assist device; NO = nitric oxide; OR = operating room; RV = right ventricle; RVAD = right ventricular assist device.)
