Ventricle-specific epicardial pressures as a means to optimize direct cardiac compression for circulatory support: A pilot study.
Direct cardiac compression (DCC) holds enormous potential as a safe and effective means to treat heart failure patients who require long-term, or even permanent, biventricular support. However, devices developed to date are not tuned to meet the individual compression requirements of the left and ri...
