Overview

Imaging reveals complications of left ventricular assist devices in heart failure patients, emphasizing CT's role.

Key Points

  • CT imaging effectively identifies complications associated with left ventricular assist devices.
  • Left ventricular assist devices can support patients with end-stage systolic heart failure.
  • Echocardiography evaluates parameters for LVADs, yet its visualization of cannulas is limited.
  • HeartMate II and HeartMate 3 devices are commonly used, whereas HeartWare has been recalled.
