- Abstract
Abstract: Use of ventricular assist devices is increasing in the pediatric population. This has included the extended use of adult continuous‐flow devices in the pediatric population. In a minority of cases, biventricular support may be needed. In these situations, biventricular support with continuous‐flow devices can be surgically challenging, and therefore, only few cases have been reported. Here, we present a case of implantation of two HeartWare HVAD devices for biventricular support for a decompensating patient with acute myocarditis as well as present an alternative implantation surgical strategy.
