A 50-year-old male who underwent a HeartMate II left ventricular assist device placement for ischemic cardiomyopathy presented with discolored urine and hemolysis 3 mo after the operation. His hemolysis was thought to be due to thrombosis within the pump. Imaging studies were not able to visualize a left ventricular thrombus. Medical management with anticoagulation failed and he underwent surgery for a pump exchange. Intraoperatively, a firm thrombus was found within the pump of the HeartMate II, and the color of the urine changed dramatically from cola-colored to yellow which enabled us to confirm the diagnosis.
一名50岁男性因缺血性心肌病接受了HeartMate II左心室辅助装置植入手术,术后3个月出现尿液变色和溶血。他的溶血被认为是由于泵内血栓形成所致。影像学检查未能发现左心室血栓。抗凝药物治疗失败后,他接受了泵更换手术。术中,在HeartMate II的泵内发现了一个坚实的血栓,尿液颜色从可乐色急剧变为黄色,这使我们得以确诊。
