Background: Continuous flow left ventricular assistance devices (CF-LVADs) have revolutionized the treatment of advanced heart failure. Pump replacement for thrombosis is a high-risk procedure with a high perioperative mortality rate with possible recurrence. We aim to summarize our experience using a conservative approach with medical therapy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records of patients who experienced pump thrombosis after LVAD implantation with HeartWare HVAD at our institution, from November 2010 to March 2016. Device thrombosis (DT) was divided into suspected (SDT) and confirmed (CDT). A conservative approach using thrombolysis and heparin was used in all patients. Results: A total of 32 HeartWare HVAD pumps were implanted...
