Successful use of a left ventricular assist device in cardiogenic shock from massive postoperative myocardial infarction

RL Berger, G Merin, J Carr, HA Sossman and WF Bernhard

A 41-year-old man underwent an uneventful aorta-coronary bypass for unstable angina pectoris. Four hours later, a massive anterior wall myocardial infarction resulted in cardiac arrest. Conventional resuscitative means were not effective. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was successfully employed for 94 hours. The patient is alive and well 8 months postoperatively.
