  • Title: HeartMate III Left Ventricular Assist Device Thrombosis Triggered by an Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Shock.
    Author: Klotz S, Karluss A, Stock S, Frydrychowicz A, Sievers HH.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2017 Dec; 104(6):e421-e424. PubMed ID: 29153809.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of an HeartMate III left ventricular assist device (LVAD) thrombosis triggered by a shock from an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator, releasing a left ventricular thrombus sucked in the LVAD inflow cannula. With LVAD low flow only the increase in motor temperature gave a hint of the thrombosis and a computer tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis. Pump exchange was performed with an uneventful outcome.
