Abstract

Importance: As the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic accelerates, our hospitals have become overwhelmed. Objective: To describe detection of COVID-19 in asymptomatic hospitalized individuals awaiting advanced therapies for HF and the management of complications of COVID-19. Design: We present a unique case report of hospital-acquired COVID-19 in a patient on temporary mechanical circulatory support. Main Outcome: Despite intensive care and monitoring, he developed rapid progression of hypoxic respiratory failure which led to his death. Conclusion: This case highlights various considerations for a patient with temporary MCS. It illustrates the high risk for development of COVID-19 for vulnerable hospitalized patients.
