Abstract
Technetium-99m (99mTc) tagged RBC scintigraphy is the imaging modality of choice in the diagnosis of active gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) are the state-of-the-art treatment for advanced heart failure, with GIB as the most common complication. Recognition of the distinctive imaging feature of CF-LVADs on scintigraphic images could aid diagnosis of GIB.
