Cerebral hemorrhage is a common lethal complication associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) management. We performed cerebral angiography on patients with LVAD who developed cerebral hemorrhage and determined that ruptured aneurysms were the cause in some cases. Endovascular management of patients with LVAD can be a therapeutically useful approach for cerebral hemorrhage caused by aneurysm rupture.
脑出血是与左心室辅助装置(LVAD)管理相关的常见致命并发症。我们对发生脑出血的LVAD患者进行了脑血管造影,并确定在某些情况下动脉瘤破裂是病因。对于由动脉瘤破裂引起的脑出血,LVAD患者的血管内治疗可能是一种有效的治疗方法。
