Microbubbles in the Aorta and Left Ventricle of a Patient with a Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Unique Presentation of Pump Thrombosis Leading to Urgent Surgery

Microbubble formation occurs due to the cavitation phenomenon. We report a rare echocardiographic finding of microbubbles in a patient’s aorta and left ventricle due to pump thrombosis in the left ventricle assist device, requiring pump exchange surgery.
