Zusammenfassung:A donor heart failed to adequately sustain hemodynamic function after cardiac transplantation. The cause of the donor heart dysfunction was unknown, and there were no definite risk factors identified to suggest the heart would not recover. A Symbion Acute Ventricular Assist Device System was used to support both ventricles. The heart gradually recovered and the system was explanted after 1 week of support. The patient recuperated and has been discharged from the hospital.
