Summary: | Background
Stroke after durable left ventricular assist device (d‐LVAD) implantation portends high mortality. The incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and the impact on stroke outcomes of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) management among patients requiring bridge to d‐LVAD with micro‐axial flow‐pump (mAFP, Abiomed) is unsettled.
Methods
Consecutive patients, who underwent d‐LVAD implantation after being bridged with mAFP at 19 institutions, were retrospectively included. The incidence of early ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke after d‐LVAD implantation ( |
