A nine-year-old girl ( 23 kg) was successfully bridged to heart transplantation with the TandemHeart® centrifugal pump for 10 days. Although this cardiac assist device has been used in adults for short-term mechanical support, its use in the pediatric population has not been widely reported. The TandemHeart® was easy to implant, achieved appropriate flows in this pediatric patient, and allowed for extubation and ambulation while awaiting a donor heart.
