Key Words	Left ventricular assist devices; Right heart catheterization; Ramp study; Flow estimation
Core Tip	Commercially available left ventricular assist devices estimate flow through the device, but a new investigational device with an ultrasonic flow probe directly measures flow. Despite a reported accuracy in the flow probe’s measurement of flow, we found that this value was inaccurate in a patient whose flows were discrepant to the patient’s clinical status by performing echocardiography and right heart catheterization. Care should be taken to verify technical advances in mechanical circulatory support, and both imaging and hemodynamic evaluations can help clinicians make more informed decisions.
