HeartWare assist device outflow graft obstruction is an uncommon but severe complication, and it may be because of several reasons. We present a case of recurrence of heart failure in a young patient supported with left ventricular assist device and on the waiting list for heart transplantation. After a complex diagnostic workout, a stenosis of the graft anastomosis was found and successfully stented.
