Advancements in left ventricular assist devices to prevent pump thrombosis and blood coagulopathy
J Anat. 2022 Apr 20. doi: 10.1111/joa.13675. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are very useful in improving outcomes in patients with advanced-stage heart failure. Despite recent advances in LVAD development, pump thrombosis is one of the most severe adverse events caused by LVADs. The contact of blood with artificial materials of LVAD pumps and cannulas triggers the coagulation cascade. Heat spots, for example, produced by mechanical bearings are often subjected to thrombus build-up when low-flow situations impair washout and thus th...
