A 49-year-old male patient suffering from end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular ejection fraction below 15% was presented to redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Coronary angiogram demonstrated an occluded left anterior descending artery and occluded right coronary artery, perfused retrogradely from the circumflex artery. Since positron emission tomography did not demonstrate viable left ventricular myocardium except for the basis of the left ventricle, CABG was considered futile. Cardiac transplantation was contra-indicated due to pharmacologically unresponsive pulmonary artery hypertension. The patient successfully underwent left ventricular assist device implantation in combination with right coronary artery revascularization. The article reflects the regimen of right ventricular preservation in this patient.
