The high mortality rate of congestive cardiac failure, the cost and complications of cardiac transplantation, and the waiting list mortality rate resulting from donor organ scarcity have encouraged the development of surgical techniques as bridges to transplantation or as long-term palliative therapy. Implantable left ventricular assist devices are now routinely used as such a bridge, and within the REMATCH Trial, as permanent palliative devices in nontransplant candidates. These are mechanical managements with myriad mechanical complications and pitfalls. Echocardiography has been extensively used in our institution to detect and diagnose previously documented and hitherto unencountered complications of these procedures.
