Sulcus subarachnoid hemorrhage is a common stroke subtype in patients with implanted left ventricular assist devices

Stroke is one of the major complications observed in patients with an implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD). The purpose of this study was to clarify the types and characteristics of acute stroke in patients after LVAD implantation by using brain computed tomography (CT) findings.
