  • Title: Successful use of left ventricular assist device for primary graft failure after heart transplantation.
    Author: Hooper TL, Odom NJ, Fetherston GJ, Waterhouse P, Hilton CJ, Dark JH.
    Journal: J Heart Transplant; 1988; 7(5):385-7. PubMed ID: 3058909.
    Abstract:
    A 52-year-old man underwent orthotopic heart transplantation, which was complicated by primary, donor organ failure. This was successfully managed by mechanical left ventricular assistance with a centrifugal pump. The patient subsequently made an uneventful and complete recovery, with normal graft function. Reasons for graft failure are discussed.
