Mechanical circulatory assist devices stroke subtype classification: a novel stroke classification system in patients with ventricular assist devices
This novel MCAD stroke classification demonstrated excellent interrater reliability in a single-center LVAD retrospective cohort and provides a structured framework for categorizing etiologic contributors. Future prospective multicenter studies are needed to assess its clinical utility.
