We report the clinical course of a 16-year-old girl in remission from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented in cardiogenic shock due to a severe anthracycline cardiomyopathy. The patient was initially stabilized using central extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, followed by conversion to a left ventricular assist device. Unexpected evidence of cardiac recovery 9 months after implant enabled device weaning during a 3-month period, culminating in successful device explantation 1 year after implant. The patient survives 18 months after explant in New York Heart Association class I, on conventional heart failure medical management and metabolic therapy.
