Treatment of left ventricular assist device thrombosis with extended catheter-directed intraventricular thrombolytic therapy.
C ontinuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are used in patients with advanced heart failure, either as bridge to transplant or as destination therapy. 1 Because current generation continuous flow LVADs activate the coagulation system, anticoagulant therapy with warfarin is recommended to minimize the risk of device thrombosis. 2 Occasionally, however, device thrombosis may still oc...

متن کاملPlatelet inhibition with ticagrelor for left ventricular assist device thrombosis.
A lthough considered standard therapy for Stage D heart failure since 2008, the continuous, axial flow HeartMate II (HMII) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has recently been associated with unexpected rise in rates of pump thrombosis. 1 With an incidence of 0.01 to 0.11 events per patient-year, LVAD thrombosis responds to intensification of antithrombotic therapy with unfractionated hepari...
متن کاملThe diagnosis of left ventricular assist device thrombosis
The clinical course of a patient with a left ventricular assist device is described. A total of 6 weeks after device insertion, the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level increased to 2801 U/l despite adding low-molecular-weight heparin to acenocoumarol and aspirin. Pump thrombosis was suspected but unconfirmed by computed tomography. Increased pump power requirement did not occur. Instituting unfra...
متن کاملEffects of left ventricular assist device therapy on ventricular arrhythmias.
OBJECTIVES In a retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the effect of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy on ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. BACKGROUND Despite the increasing use of LVAD as a bridge to cardiac transplantation, our knowledge regarding its effect on ventricular arrhythmias is currently limited to small series. Little...
