Abstract

Interest in utilizing long-term mechanical circulatory support for Fontan-type circulation has been high. Unfortunately, so far such attempts have not been successful. Herein, we are presenting the first case of an individual with biventricular heart failure and Fontan-type circulation on long-term mechanical circulatory support with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device.
