CTICasesHeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
Imaging findings
An image demonstrating the appearance of a HeartMate 3 intracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was presented.
Key takeaways
The HeartMate 3 is a relatively new intracorporeal left ventricular assist device used for cardiac support. Radiologists should be familiar with the appearances of various LVAD types, including distinguishing them from other devices like HeartWare, to accurately assess their position and identify potential complications.
