description A 73-year-old male with end-stage heart failure underwent insertion of the HeartMate 3 (Abbott, North Chicago, IL, USA) device. Systemic anticoagulation and antiplatelets were discontinued for 52 days due to postoperative bleeding. After hemorrhage resolution, we restarted warfarin monotherapy targeting an international normalized ratio of 1.8-2.5. Eight months later, there are no reports of pump thrombosis, thromboembolism, and bleeding.
