First Documented Case of a Third-Generation LVAD Rotor Dislodgement
The third-generation left ventricular assist device (3G-LVAD) has significantly reduced adverse events and hospitalizations compared with previous generations. This case presents a rare 3G-LVAD rotor dislodgement malfunction, not previously documented, in a 77-year-old man. Further research behind the malfunction is warranted for early prevention and appropriate management.
