Case Report

Accepted for publication April 24, 1997.

A left ventricular assist device was placed as a bridge to cardiac transplantation in a 51-year-old man with cardiogenic shock. Placement of the left ventricular assist device occurred 5 years after implantation of an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator. The implantable cardioverter/defibrillator discharged appropriately during ventricular assist device support to terminate episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia without causing malfunction of the ventricular assist device.
