Abstract
Cardiac recovery after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is rare. Recurrent heart failure after device explantation is also rare. We describe a patient who is the recipient of a third-generation LVAD due to recurrent heart failure nearly one decade after successfully being bridged to recovery after implantation of a first-generation LVAD.
