TI  - Successful Management of Thrombosis of the Proximal Aorta after Implantation with 
      a Biventricular Assist Device.
PG  - 310-3
AB  - Continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (CVADs) are associated with a 
      significant complication profile that includes thrombosis of the ascending aorta 
      and aortic valve, thromboembolism, and stroke. Despite an increasing number of 
      reports of thromboembolic complications related to CVADs, there is little in the 
      literature to guide their management. This report describes successful management 
      strategies used during two cases of thrombosis of the ascending aorta during 
      biventricular CentriMag (Levitronix LLC, Waltham, MA) support, including using 
      pre-existing cannulas to initiate cardiopulmonary bypass.
