Abstract
Left ventricular assist devices are frequently used to bridge patients to cardiac transplantation. As this experience grows, new and unanticipated complications will occur. This report describes a 50-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy being bridged to cardiac transplantation who suffered an acute right ventricular infarction during the interval of support.
