LVAD Vasculitis Case Series: Suggestion of a New Fatal LVAD-Related Phenomenon.

JACC. Case reports, 2021
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are surgically implanted mechanical devices indicated for patients with advanced heart failure and are known to come with several complications. Here we present a case series, and review 1 documented report, of LVAD vasculitis, a presumed new LVAD immune/humoral related phenomenon. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
