Article Abstract
We describe the use of a total artificial heart (TAH) (Syncardia) as a successful bridge to transplantation in a pediatric patient. The post-TAH course included obstruction of both systemic veins with decreased TAH filling and output that was successfully treated with bicaval stent placement. After stenting of the systemic veins, the patient was able to successfully rehabilitate and underwent successful cardiac repeated transplantation 6 months after TAH placement.
