Abstract

A shunt from a right ventricular assist device (BVS5000; Abiomed, Inc., Danvers, MA) with an oxygenator to a left ventricular assist device (AB5000; Abiomed) was created to circumvent the lungs in a 16-year-old boy with acute pulmonary failure during the transition from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to biventricular support.
