Abstract
Malnutrition is common among paediatric heart failure patients, with nutritional rehabilitation critical for survival and optimal health outcomes. Ventricular assist devices have been associated with improved growth, though additional nutritional support may be needed. Here, we report the use of human milk-based fortifiers to avoid severe malnutrition in a neonate supported on a ventricular assist device until transplantation.
