Abstract

Abstract Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the early post-transplant phase. As its pathophysiology is multifactorial, management is challenging. Recently, Impella RP Flex was approved for RV support as a mechanical circulatory device. We hereby present the first case of its use in managing RV failure in a patient after OHT.
