Abstrakt: The gold standard treatment for end-stage heart failure is heart transplantation; however, the rate of transplantation remains inadequate because of the paucity of organ donation. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been used as a bridge therapy before transplantation. The LVAD is being used increasingly because it reduces mortality despite the accompanying morbidities. Therefore, the anesthetic management of LVAD-related morbidities is important and requires experience and knowledge. Herein, we describe a 60-year-old male patient with an LVAD with complaints of right hemiparesis, dysphasia, and facial paralysis. We aim to present the anesthetic management of a patient with intracranial hemorrhage who underwent LVAD exchange due to thrombosis.
