Abstract
Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are frequently used in the management of end-stage heart failure, especially given the limited availability of donor hearts. The latest HeartMate 3 LVAD delivers non-physiological continuous flow (CF), although the impact on the aorta is not well established. We highlight a case of aortic aneurysm formation complicated by dissection formation that necessitated high-risk re-operative surgery in a patient post CF-LVAD.
