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.
