Though the numbers remain small, the use of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices as a bridge to recovery in pediatric patients has been increasing. Select patients may have sufficient myocardial recovery to allow for device removal. Here, we describe a 13-year old requiring left ventricular assist device implantation for myocarditis who was referred for explant of the device after recovery. This was performed via thoracotomy, without cardiopulmonary bypass, using a newly developed titanium recovery plug that is custom designed to fit the HeartMate 3.
