Abstract
A 36 year old woman with history of heart failure and left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, with subsequent explantation after myocardial recovery, presented for management of preconception counseling and subsequent pregnancy. To our knowledge, this case represents the first documented successful pregnancy after LVAD explantation. Management details are provided, and relevant literature is reviewed.
