Novacor LVAD bridge to transplantation in peripartum cardiomyopathy

R Tandler, C Schmid, M Weyand and HH Scheld
Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat, Munster, Germany.

We report the case of a 22-year-old woman suffering from peripartum cardiomyopathy who was successfully bridged to cardiac transplantation with a Novacor left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Her course with the device is presented and emphasis is put on the size mismatch between the patient and the device, a fact with normally precludes the implantation of the Novacor LVAD.
