We investigated the ability of the Hemopump to support the right ventricle during acute, partial, pulmonary artery obstruction. In 6 pigs, a 14 Fr size Hemopump was placed through the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle. Control measurements were made. A band around the pulmonary artery proximal to the outflow port of the Hemopump was tightened, and measurements were repeated with the Hemopump at minimum and then maximum speed. With banding, right ventricular stroke volume and output decreased (43 [SD, 7] to 28 [SD, 8] ml, p < 0.001; 4.9 [SD, 0.8] to 3.7 [SD, 1.0] L/min, p < 0.01 respectively), but they were restored with the Hemopump (38 [SD, 5] ml and 4.5 [SD, 0.6] L/min; both p = NS vs control). Increases in right ventricular peak systolic (28 [SD, 10] to 42 [SD, 17] mm Hg; p < 0.01) and end-diastolic pressure (2 [SD, 1] to 12 [SD, 6] mm Hg; p < 0.02) were reversed by the Hemopump (29 [SD, 8] and 4 [SD, 2] mm Hg; both p = NS vs control). Right ventricular pressure rate product almost doubled with banding (3,199 [SD, 1,252] to 5,962 [SD, 2,796] mm Hg; p < 0.01), but it decreased with the Hemopump (3,368 [SD, 767] mm Hg; p = NS vs control). With acute partial pulmonary artery banding, a right ventricular Hemopump restores output from and offloads the right ventricle.

D002302	Cardiac Output	The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat).	Cardiac Outputs,Output, Cardiac,Outputs, Cardiac
D003250	Constriction	The act of constricting.	Clamping,Clampings,Constrictions
D006353	Heart-Assist Devices	Small pumps, often implantable, designed for temporarily assisting the heart, usually the LEFT VENTRICLE, to pump blood. They consist of a pumping chamber and a power source, which may be partially or totally external to the body and activated by electromagnetic motors.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
