Résumé
Despite left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy becoming established for end-stage heart failure (HF), complications remain. Thromboembolic complications are rare with the newest iteration of LVADs. We managed a case of a continuous-flow LVAD-related thromboembolic event that presented as an acute myocardial infarction. A 64-year-old male who underwent Heartmate III
