title: Endovascular treatment of cerebral hemorrhage in a patient with a left ventricular assist device: report of a case.
abstract: 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.
