Cerebrovascular Accidents During Mechanical Circulatory Support
Stroke 49:1197-1203, Izzy, S.,et al, 2018
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients on LVAD support. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease increases the risk of ischemic stroke, whereas dialysis may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Although any stroke increases mortality, post-LVAD hemorrhagic stroke was associated with higher mortality compared with ischemic stroke.
