Medical and Surgical Management of Left Ventricular Assist Device-Associated Intracranial Hemorrhage
Management of left ventricular assist device (LVAD)-associated intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is complicated by the competing concerns of hematoma expansion and the risk of thrombosis. Strategies include reversal or withholding of anticoagulation (AC) and neurosurgical (NSG) interventions.

We reviewed medical and NSG practices following LVAD-associated ICH and analyzed outcomes.
