Abstract
Biventricular heart failure remains a major challenge, and the total artificial heart faces hurdles, particularly in long-term application. Ventricular membrane rupture of a total artificial heart is a feared complication and often implies a fatal outcome. Herein we present the first case of successful and effective replacement of a total artificial heart right ventricle due to membrane rupture.
