Abstract :
Nonspecific primary allograft dysfunction is an important cause of perioperative death in cardiac transplant recipients. We report a case of severe nonspecific allograft dysfunction that was ultimately reversible after 18 days of biventricular mechanical circulatory support. Allograft recovery was echocardiographically recognized by a positive inotropic response to isoproterenol and milrinone. This case illustrates the potential for recovery of even extreme allograft dysfunction.
