Abstract

Preventative polytetrafluoroethylene coverings are often used to protect the left ventricular assist device outflow graft during sternal re-entry. We herein describe 5 cases of late-onset, significant left ventricular assist device outflow graft obstruction due to external outflow graft compression. We present clinical presentations, therapies and outcomes.
