Vasodilation through levodopa for Parkinson's disease may require high left ventricular assist device flow
2019
textabstractWe report implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in a patient with
Parkinson's disease. Postoperative fluid overload together with insufficient LVAD
output in the setting of vasodilation through levodopa likely caused renal
hypoperfusion and acute kidney injury. A patient like ours, therefore, requires the
highest possible increase of HM3 RPM and LVAD flow early after surgery.
