Strokes are common among patients with left ventricular devices (LVAD). We hypothesize that there is ongoing cerebral microvascular injury with LVAD support and aim to describe this among LVAD-implanted patients through post-mortem neuropathologic evaluation. We identified and reviewed medical records of LVAD patients who underwent brain autopsy between January 2006 and December 2019 at a tertiary center. Cerebral injury was defined as both gross and microscopic injuries within the intracranial space including cerebral infarct (CI), hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and cerebral microvascular injury. Cerebral microvascular injury was defined as microscopic brain intraparenchymal or perivascular hemorrhage, perivascular hemosiderin deposition, and perivascular inflammation. Twenty-one patients (median age = 57 years, 67% male) had autopsy after LVAD support (median LVAD support = 51 days). The median time from death to autopsy was 19 h. All 21 patients had cerebral injuries and 19 (90%) patients had cerebral microvascular injuries. Fourteen patients (78%) harbored more than one type of cerebral injury. On gross examination, 8 patients (38%) had CI, and 6 patients (29%) had ICH. On microscopic exam, 12 patients (57%) had microscopic intraparenchymal hemorrhage, 3 patients (14%) had perivascular hemorrhage, 11 patients (43%) had perivascular hemosiderin deposition, 5 patients (24%) had meningeal hemorrhage, 13 patients had chronic perivascular inflammation (62%), and 2 patients had diffuse HIBI (10%). Among patients with LVAD, there is a high prevalence of subclinical microvascular injuries and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), which may provide some insights to the cause of frequent cerebral injury in LVAD population.
