Intercostal Nerve Block for Intercostal Neuralgia from HeartMate 3: A Case Report
Introduction
The HeartMate 3 (HM3) is a new generation left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
Direct mechanical nerve irritation can lead to intercostal neuralgia.
We report a case of intercostal neuralgia secondary to HM3 insertion that was successfully treated with a chemical neurolytic intercostal nerve block.
