Abstract EN
HeartWare is a third generation left ventricular assist device (LVAD), widely used for the management of advanced heart failure patients.
These devices are frequently associated with a significant risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.
The data for the management of patients with LVAD presenting with GI bleeding is limited.
We describe a 56-year-old lady, recipient of a HeartWare device, who experienced recurrent GI bleeding and was successfully managed with subcutaneous (SC) formulations of octreotide.
