Novacor LVAD bridge to transplantation in peripartum cardiomyopathy.

R Tandler1, C Schmid, M Weyand, H H Scheld.   

Abstract

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.
