Abstract
Background: Long-term outcome for children with functionally univentricular hearts has improved.

Posttransplantation, these patients are at risk for elevated pulmonary resistance, right ventricular (RV) failure, and early mortality. Supporting the RV with a mechanical circulatory device may allow for recovery of function and hemodynamics.
