N1 - Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are associated with hemostatic complications. We describe the incidence and risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and pump thrombosis (PT) to optimize patient selection/management. An IRB-approved retrospective review of first LVAD implants between October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2013 at a single center was conducted.
