Role of Acquired Von Willebrand Syndrome in the Development of Bleeding Complications in Patients Treated Using Right Ventricular Microaxial Flow Pump Devices: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Purpose: Axial flow pumps are standard treatment in cases of cardiogenic shock and high-risk interventions in cardiology and cardiac surgery, although the optimal anticoagulation strategy remains unclear. We evaluated whether laboratory findings could predict bleeding complications and acquired von Willebrand syndrome (avWS) among patients who were treated using axial flow pumps.
