Abstract

We describe the management of a 59-year-old female with an unrepaired congenital ventricular septal defect (VSD) and end stage nonischemic cardiomyopathy necessitating placement of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a destination treatment. Simultaneous repair of the VSD was performed during the LVAD implantation under a beating heart. The patient remained hemodynamically stable throughout her postoperative course, without signs of hypoxia or cyanosis. Following discharge, outpatient surveillance echocardiogram demonstrated successful VSD closure and no residual shunt.
