Summary Computed tomography findings of acute stroke after implantation of an LVAD are characteristically multifocal cortical lesions, regardless of brain infarction and hemorrhage. Unexpectedly, sulcus SAH was a common stroke subtype in patients with implanted LVADs. Sulcus SAH should be carefully examined in patients after LVAD implantation, when they complain of non-specific neurological complaints.
