Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is one of the principal adverse events affecting patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). Despite the early recognition that GIB is commonly because of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (GIAD), the exact pathophysiology of this process remains elusive. It has been postulated that the abnormal hemodynamic profile in CF-LVAD patients may activate the angiogenesis signaling cascade via...
