Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are electromechanical pumps that aid the failing heart and are essential option in the modern management of heart failure that may serve as a bridge to transplantation and provide destination therapy or short-term recovery for cardiogenic shock. As a complement to echocardiography, computed tomography (and to a lesser extent radiography or nuclear scintigraphy) plays an essential role in the evaluation of LVAD complications in both the perioperative and late post-operative time periods. These complications and their imaging appearances are reviewed in this article.
