- Previously Undiagnosed Patent Foramen Ovale as Cause of Hypotension and Hypoxemia in a Patient With Recent TandemHeart LVAD InsertionJournal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular AnesthesiaVol. 35Issue 3
- PreviewDETERMINATION OF the cause of hypoxia during percutaneous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) use can be a diagnostic challenge. We present an interesting case of hypotension and hypoxemia in a patient with a TandemHeart LVAD (CardiacAssist, Inc.). The patient was a 64-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and coronary artery disease status post previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery. He presented with left ventricular heart failure and recurrent ventricular tachycardia and underwent ventricular tachycardia ablation assisted by planned percutaneous TandemHeart LVAD.
