Popis: In this report, we describe the successful utilization of an external right ventricular assist device as vascular access for hemodialysis and continuous arteriovenous hemodialysis in a critically ill patient on biventricular mechanical assist support. Utilization of the right ventricular assist device lines provided relatively easy and safe dialysis access and temporarily reduced the risks associated with the conventional vascular access techniques.
