Abstract
Although the left ventricular assist device is an important bridge to heart transplantation for patients with end-stage heart failure, it can also be a source of embolic stroke. We present a case of late intracranial mechanical thrombectomy performed for embolic stroke beyond the recommended 6 h, thus allowing for heart transplantation 4 days after intracranial mechanical thrombectomy. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
