Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support devices have demonstrated efficacy in adult congenital patients with biventricular repairs. The off-label use of ventricular assist devices may be invaluable for managing end-stage single ventricle failure. We present the case of a 27-year-old male who developed heart failure, congestive hepatopathy, and, ultimately, cardiogenic shock. He received a HeartMate 3 (Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA) without complications one year after the surgery.
