Outflow graft complications after left ventricular assist device placement are infrequent but highly morbid. In this case report, we describe endovascular repair of multiple outflow graft defects with external hemorrhage in a complex patient using overlapping stent grafts. This approach successfully stopped the outflow graft hemorrhage and temporized the patient for subsequent cardiac transplantation.
