A 67-year-old man with medical history of ischemic cardiomyopathy with stage D heart failure and infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Three months after the procedure, he presented with unrelenting back pain and a rapidly increased in size aneurysm. The patient underwent urgent endovascular aneurysm repair with uncomplicated recovery. Growing experience with current-generation LVADs led to the recognition of a novel type of vasculopathy: LVAD-induced aortopathy and a preexisting aortopathy may rapidly progress after LVAD placement.
一名67岁男性，有缺血性心肌病病史，处于D期心力衰竭，并有肾下腹主动脉瘤，接受了左心室辅助装置（LVAD）植入术。术后三个月，他出现持续的背痛，动脉瘤大小迅速增加。该患者接受了紧急血管内动脉瘤修复术，恢复过程顺利。随着对新一代LVAD经验的不断积累，人们认识到一种新型血管病变：LVAD诱导的主动脉病变，并且在LVAD植入后，先前存在的主动脉病变可能会迅速进展。
