Description:
<jats:p>A 44-year-old female patient with chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy presented with acute cardiogenic shock requiring ECMO support. Multiple failed weaning trials from temporary mechanical circulatory assistance prompted a transition to staged durable biventricular support. Her course was complicated with recurrent RVAD stoppages. The initial event was treated with pump exchange, while for the subsequent RVAD standstill, we employed a device wash-out and reimplantation strategy. A brief period of circulatory arrest was employed to explore the right-sided cardiac chambers using a single-use bronchoscope.</jats:p>
