title: Right infarction response to coronary artery bypass and the Abiomed BVS 5000.
abstract: A 57-year-old man presented with acute right ventricular infarction. A percutaneous coronary intervention was undertaken, but he developed shock and required extracorporeal membrane oxygenator support. Coronary artery bypass was performed, and a Abiomed BVS 5000 was implanted as a right ventricular assist device. Circulation gradually stabilized, and the device was removed after 5 days. There no sign of heart failure or infection at 9 months post-surgery.
