A Complicated Course of Brain Tumor Resection in a Patient with a Left Ventricular Assist Device

Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are mechanical pumps that have become a standard treatment for end-stage heart failure. As patients with LVAD are living longer, the number of noncardiac surgeries performed in these patients is rising. However, these patients present a unique set of risk facto...
