title: Minimally Invasive Temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device for Acute Right Ventricular Failure.
abstract: Minimally invasive approaches to acute mechanical circulatory support are needed to reduce hemorrhagic and other complications. We describe our minimally invasive approach to right ventricular assist device placement in patients with acute, non-postcardiotomy, right ventricular failure.
