Implantation of left ventricular assist device complicated by undiagnosed thrombophilia
Original language description
A patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and no history of thromboembolic events received a surgically implanted axial-flow left ventricular assist device. After implantation, transesophageal echocardiography revealed a giant thrombus on the lateral and anterior aspects of the left ventricle. The inflow cannula inserted through the apex of the left ventricle was not obstructed, and the device generated satisfactory blood flow. Laboratory screening for thrombophilia showed protein S deficiency, heterozygousfactor V Leiden mutation, and heterozygous MTHFR C667T mutation. During the entire duration of circulatory support no significant suction events were detected, and the patient was listed for heart transplantation. Ventricular assist device implantationcan unmask previously undiagnosed thrombophilia; therefore, it should be necessary to identify thrombophilic patients before cardiac support implantation.
