Treatment of device thrombus in the HeartWare HVAD: surgical exchange through thoracotomy

Pump thrombosis can occur in patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). It can be treated medically with thrombolytic agents or surgically. We present a case of a man who successfully underwent an LVAD swap via left anterior thoracotomy due to recurrent thromboses in the inflow cannula.
