Abstract: Advances in palliation of congenital heart disease have resulted in improved survival to adulthood. Nevertheless many of these patients ultimately develop end-stage heart failure requiring heart transplantation. Implantation of ventricular assist device is life-saving option for such patients, allowing for bridge to transplant. In the present study we describe our experience with implantation of ventricular assist device Heart Mate II as bridge to transplant in adult patients with congenital heart disease.
