Abstract EN
We describe a patient with compensated cirrhosis and portal hypertension who underwent continuous flow LVAD implantation.
Shortly after LVAD implantation, the patient developed new onset bleeding esophageal varices and ultimately had a fatal outcome.
Our experience suggests that even well-compensated cirrhotic patients with significant portal hypertension are at risk of variceal bleeding after LVAD placement.
