Optimal haemodynamics during left ventricular assist device support are associated with reduced haemocompatibility‐related adverse events

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2019
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy improves the haemodynamics of advanced heart failure patients. However, it is unknown whether haemodynamic optimization improves haemocompatibility‐related adverse events (HRAEs).

Left Ventricular Assist Device Outflow Graft Obstruction: A Case Series.

ASAIO journal (1992), 2020
Dysfunction of different components within continuous-flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) systems may cause adverse cardiovascular and end-organ sequelae. Outflow graft obstruction is a recognized type of LVAD component dysfunction.
