Intracranial mycotic aneurysm associated with left ventricular assist device infection.

Joshua A Hill1, Nahush A Mokadam2, Robert M Rakita3.   

Abstract

Infection is a frequent complication of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) use in patients with severe heart failure. The development of bacteremia with "LVAD endocarditis" is a serious infection that has rarely been associated with mycotic aneurysm formation. We describe the first case of an LVAD-associated intracranial mycotic aneurysm. We suggest that this is an underappreciated condition that merits more aggressive evaluation and treatment in patients with chronic LVAD-associated infections.
