New Case Report! "Conservative Management of LVAD-Associated Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm" by Drs. Marvin Kajy, Connor Kerndt, Paul Weber, Marzia Leacche & Renzo Loyaga Rendon. This case portrays a patient suffering from a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after HeartMate-III implantation that was not amenable to surgical repair due to heightened surgical risk. This documents the first pseudoaneurysm associated with the HeartMate-III in available literature and describes a novel management strategy of documented nonoperative course of LVAD-associated pseudoaneurysm, with the patient surviving 56+ months with medical optimization and management.
