Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) improve symptoms and outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure. We report the case of a patient with a freshly implanted HeartMate 3 LVAD, suffering abruptly on postoperative day 55 from pejoration of his heart failure with multiple episodes of low-flow alarm. Outflow graft obstruction (OGO) due to local aortic dissection was diagnosed with multimodality imaging. After a multidisciplinary discussion, a surgical approach was decided, and the patient benefited from a revision of his outflow graft.
