Abstract This paper describes the case of a patient with a high-grade spindle sarcoma in the right ventricle. The patient underwent total cardiectomy followed by the implantation of a total artificial heart. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and remained tumour-free for 12 months; after that time period she underwent a heart transplant.

Primary cardiac sarcomas, although rare, are aggressive and lethal, requiring thorough surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for the best possible outcome. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman who underwent total artificial heart implantation for right-sided heart failure caused by right ventricular angiosarcoma. For the first several weeks in intensive care, the patient recovered uneventfully. However, a postoperative liver biopsy indicated hepatocellular injury consistent with preoperative chemotherapy. She developed continuing liver failure, from which she died despite good cardiac function.
