We report the feasibility and safety of a repeat pump exchange with an upgrade to HMIII in a high-volume center. The decision for medical therapy versus surgical exchange has to be tailored to individual cases based on risk factors and clinical stability but in expert hands, even a re-redo surgical approach grants options for good medium-term outcomes.
