RESUMO
The implantation of the left ventricular assist device Abbott HeartMate 3TM is being increasingly performed for management of end-stage heart failure. LVAD implantation might be associated with early or late right ventricular dysfunction. When severe, a temporary right ventricular support device may need to be implanted. However, these situations are associated with higher mortality. We report a successful case of temporary right ventricular support following HeartMate 3 implantation.
