Background  Ventricular assist device (VAD) is usually attached by an inflow cannula to the apex of the systemic left ventricle (LV), but very few cases with implantation of the VAD in the morphologic right ventricle (RV) have been described.    Case presentation  We describe the case of a 41-year-old male who developed severe systemic RV failure related to a Mustard procedure he had as an infant for treatment of TGA. His heart failure was refractory and irreversible, and therefore, he underwent VAD implantation for systemic RV support. Although the patient developed pulmonary congestion on postoperative day (POD) 5, he was discharged on POD 60. He is now looking forward to receiving heart transplantation.    Conclusions  Placement of a VAD for systemic RV failure could be a life-saving treatment in adult patients with heart failure due to congenital heart disease.
