Over the past decade, left ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy has become more prevalent and safer, but severe complications such as VAD pump thrombosis and outflow graft obstruction still carry a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early intervention is crucial in preventing adverse cardiac remodeling or VAD pump failure.
Over the past decade, left ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy has become more prevalent and increasingly safe. Severe complications, such as VAD pump thrombosis and outflow graft obstruction, are rare, yet still associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical presentation, VAD alarm and log files, laboratory analysis, and non-invasive cardiac imaging are crucial for establishing the correct diagnosis and determining clinical management. Early intervention is critical to prevent adverse cardiac remodelling or VAD pump failure.
