title: The use of the Impella RD as a bridge to recovery for right ventricular dysfunction after cardiac transplantation.
abstract: Right ventricular failure after orthotopic heart transplantation is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. We report the use of a paracardiac microaxial pump, the Impella RD, as a bridge to recovery in a patient with right ventricular infarction after orthotopic heart transplantation.
