As an alternative therapeutic option, LVAD heart pumps have been implanted to help patients with end-stage heart failure sustain blood circulation in the body. However, there are shortcomings associated with LVAD implantation: complications include infection, blood clotting (thrombosis), stroke and bleeding.

This can lead to damage of the inner lining of the heart in that region. A blood clot can form on the inner surface of the heart as a consequence. These clots can break away into the circulation and get lodged into a blood vessel of the brain. Another reason for stroke is high blood pressure.

Half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive the self-expanding Evolut valve, which is constructed using porcine tissue and materials that allow the valve to expand to full size when it reaches body temperature. of patients who received the Evolut valve and 10.6% of those receiving the SAPIEN valve.

In Ischaemic strokes, there is some sort of blockage either in the major vessels that take the blood (this is called large vessel atherosclerosis) to the brain or even in the smaller vessels (called small vessel occlusion). It is also important for patients to have some form of imaging on the heart. This is the link to the video.

Common conditions that can cause our pump to become defective are: A previous heart attack – a heart attack means that a part of the heart has died and therefore, the pump has in some way become weaker Heart valve disease – if our heart valves are abnormally narrowed then they make it a lot more difficult for the heart to pump blood out.
