Case report: two cases of watershed phenomenon in mechanical circulatory support devices: computed tomography angiography imaging and literature review

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    There are an increasing number of therapies available for people with end-stage heart failure, particularly in the form of Mechanical circulatory support (MCS). For all this, various potential complications associated with MCS need to be taken into consideration, especially aortic root thrombus formation. Aortic root thrombosis is a rare complication that was recently recognized in continuous-flow left ventricular assist device therapy and is associated with significant mortality in MCS patients. In clinical practice, an accurate diagnosis of aortic root thrombosis and "watershed" is essential because the prognosis and therapy are diverse. The . . .
