Interventricular septal hematoma is a rare and life-threatening complication of pediatric cardiac surgery. Commonly seen following ventricular septal defect repair, it has also been associated with ventricular assist device (VAD) placement. Although conservative management is usually successful, operative drainage of interventricular septal hematoma occurring in pediatric patients undergoing VAD implantation should be considered.
