ABSTRACT
The ingested pump inflow thrombus, although rare, is a potentially life-threatening complication of left ventricular assist devices. During the last years, the backwash maneuver is considered an alternative method to pump replacement for the treatment of inflow thrombosis, showing high success rate in selected patients with HeartWare HVAD devices. However, that was not the case in our present report, in which we detail the application of this method in two HeartMate3 patients with ingested pump inflow thrombus. Washing out the thrombus was not feasible in either case, possibly due to mechanical aspects of the inflow part of the HeartMate3 pump. As a result, we remain skeptical regarding the use of the method in HeartMate3 patients with inflow thrombosis.
