A patient with acute bacterial endocarditis in whom ischaemic contracture of the left ventricle (stone-heart syndrome) developed during aortic and mitral valve replacement had an emergency implantation of an intracorporeal partial artificial heart (an abdominal left-ventricular assist device of ALVAD). This device functioned as a total artificial heart for nearly 6 days, while a donor heart for transplantation was sought. The ALVAD was then removed, and the patient received allografts of a heart and a kidney. The transplanted heart functioned well, but the patient died 15 days later from gram-negative sepsis. There was no evidence of cardiac or renal allograft rejection.
一名患有急性细菌性心内膜炎的患者，在进行主动脉瓣和二尖瓣置换术期间发生了左心室缺血性挛缩（石心综合征），紧急植入了体内部分人工心脏（腹部左心室辅助装置，ALVAD）。该装置作为全人工心脏运行了近6天，同时寻找供体心脏进行移植。然后移除了ALVAD，患者接受了心脏和肾脏的同种异体移植。移植的心脏功能良好，但患者在15天后死于革兰氏阴性菌败血症。没有心脏或肾脏同种异体移植排斥的证据。
