At the conclusion of this exhibit, participants will be able to confidently review CTs in patients with surgical left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) In this exhibit, we will: Review the normal imaging appearances of surgical left ventricular assist devices Review complications associated with surgical left ventricular assist devices with emphasis on CT imaging of complications  

Review normal imaging and positioning of surgical left ventricular assist devices (HeartMate 2 and HeartWare) Review complications of surgical LVADs with emphasis on CT imaging: device malpositioning, pocket hemorrhage, pocket and cannula infection, cannula kinking, cannula thrombosis, drive line infection, pericardial hematoma, and complications related to anticoagulation (eg, CNS, GI, and retroperitoneal hemorrhage)
