Although uncommon, aortic complications can happen as a result of LVAD insertion and be life-threatening. Percutaneous aortic interventions can be performed in such cases to promote thrombosis and remodelling of false lumen or aneurysmatic spaces, hence potentially reducing the risk of sudden death. Contrast-enhanced TOE can be easily and safely used to monitor the intervention in order to improve anatomic definition, guide positioning of wires and catheters and assess early results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjcr\/ytaa485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,12]],"date-time":"2020-12-12T19:44:12Z","timestamp":1607802252000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Aortic intervention guided by contrast-enhanced transoesophageal ultrasound whist waiting for cardiac transplantation: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Mireya","family":"Castro Verdes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Department, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London SW3 6NP, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6843-6466","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xun","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology and Aortic Centre, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, Sydney Street, London SW36NP, UK"},{"name":"National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW72BU, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3394-5559","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Department, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London SW3 6NP, UK"},{"name":"National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW72BU, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roxy","family":"Senior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Imaging Department, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, London SW3 6NP, UK"},{"name":"National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW72BU, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christoph A","family":"Nienaber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology and Aortic Centre, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, Sydney Street, London SW36NP, UK"},{"name":"National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London, Exhibition Road, South Kensington, London SW72BU, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021062103201099200_ytaa485-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1365","DOI":"10.1007\/s10554-019-01562-4","article-title":"Role of imaging in diagnosis and management of left ventricular assist device complications","volume":"35","author":"Li","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Cardiovasc Imaging"},{"key":"2021062103201099200_ytaa485-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"964","DOI":"10.1016\/j.healun.2004.06.024","article-title":"Incidence and clinical management of life-threatening left ventricular assist device failure","volume":"23","author":"Birks","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Heart Lung Transplant"},{"key":"2021062103201099200_ytaa485-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-7940(03)00276-8","article-title":"Resection of the ascending aorta and aortic valve patch closure for type A aortic dissection after Novacor LVAD insertion","volume":"24","author":"Lacroix","year":"2003","journal-title":"Eur J Cardiothorac Surg"},{"key":"2021062103201099200_ytaa485-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"732","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.27599","article-title":"False lumen intervention to promote remodelling and thrombosis\u2014the FLIRT concept in aortic dissection","volume":"92","author":"Yuan","year":"2018","journal-title":"Catheter Cardiovasc Interv"},{"key":"2021062103201099200_ytaa485-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2873","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehu281","article-title":"ESC Committee for Practice Guidelines. 2014 ESC Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases: document covering acute and chronic aortic diseases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta of the adult.
