Hemocompatibility Outcomes After Aspirin Withdrawal in Long‐Term HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients on Vitamin K Antagonists

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Aspirin discontinuation in long‐term, stable Heart Mate 3 LVAD patients maintained on Vitamin K antagonists did not increase hemocompatibility‐related adverse events. These findings support the safety of simplified antithrombotic therapy and extend randomized evidence for aspirin avoidance to the long‐term management of Heart Mate 3 recipients ...

The Impact of Obesity on Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
14 100 LVAD patients across 21 studies were analyzed. Findings indicated that obese LVAD recipients had lower short‐term mortality and higher risk of infection, thrombosis and right heart failure. There was no difference in long‐term survival between obese and non‐obese patients.

Outcomes in Patients Requiring VENO‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Cardiac Surgery: An Analysis From the PELS‐1 Study

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We report an insight from the PELS‐1– a multicentre, international registry focusing on postocardiotomy extracorporeal support use between 2000 and 2020. We focused on 24/2163 (1.1%) patients requiring V‐V ECMO after cardiac surgery. Mortality was high, with 21.7% of patients discharged alive and an overall 1‐year survival probability of 12.5 ...

Pediatric Versus Adult Shear‐Induced Hemolysis—Are Age‐Related Blood Properties the Main Cause for Differences?

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Graphical summary of the experimental comparison of shear‐induced hemolysis in pediatric and adult blood using a Couette shearing device. Pediatric blood shows a trend toward lower increase in hemolysis at higher shear stress amplitudes, while no relevant differences are observed at low and intermediate stresses.

Does Gastrointestinal Bleeding Increase the Risk of Thromboembolic Events in Patients Supported With CF‐LVADs?

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal bleeding significantly increases thromboembolic risk. Higher risk was also seen in patients aged ≥ 50 years, Black patients, and those with older CF‐LVAD models. ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common complication in continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device (CF‐LVAD) patients. Managing gastrointestinal bleeding
