Abstract

A 60-year-old female underwent a left ventricular assist device implantation during which a 1-mm Gore-Tex sheet was used to cover the device and outflow graft to prevent future sternal re-entry injury. Seven years later, she developed low-flow alarms with a pattern of gradual decline in flow and power suggestive of outflow graft obstruction. After a discussion with the multidisciplinary team, percutaneous stenting of the outflow graft was pursued.
