Unusual late presentation of asymptomatic diaphragmatic hernia following ventricular assist device explantation

Multiple studies have documented successful use of different types of left ventricular assist devices in the treatment of congestive heart failure. But such complications as: bleeding, thrombosis, thromboembolism, infection and pump failure – are often associated with LVAD. The submitted report [1], which is devoted to the asymptomatic diaphragmatic hernia, seems very interesting, because it is a very rare surgical case which was diagnosed after LVAD explantation. It would be interesting to know what kind of LVAD was used and why the defect of the diaphragm wasn't reduced during LVAD explantation.
