Abstract
We present a successful use of biventricular pneumatic assistance during seven days allowing the recovery from a severe primary graft failure that occurred in the operating room. Suboptimal donors are associated with higher rates of immediate graft failure; however proper use of mechanical assistance can help to recover graft function.Entities:
