Popis: We describe the clinical course and treatment of a 53-year-old female, with small chest dimensions, referred to our institution for a primary cardiogenic shock. The patient underwent an on-pump left ventricular assist-device (VAD) implantation with the aid of immediate post-operative paracorporeal right-VAD assistance for an acute right ventricular failure. After two unsuccessful weaning attempts, she underwent extrapericardial HM 3 RVAD implantation.
