Over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the use of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices(p‐LVADs). p‐LVADs are being increasingly used during complex coronary interventions and for acute cardiogenic shock. These large bore percutaneous devices have a higher risk of vascular complications. We examined the vascular complication rates from the use of p‐LVAD in a national database.
