    AbstractWe report the echocardiographic detection of microbubbles in the outflow prosthesis of a HeartWare HVAD left ventricular assist device using transthoracic echocardiography. In this case it was a specific sign associated with device thrombosis that resolved after successful treatment with systemic thrombolysis. Copyright © 2016 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
