Single‐Incision Anterolateral Thoracotomy for LVAD Implantation: A Novel Minimally Invasive Approach

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A novel single‐incision anterolateral thoracotomy technique enables complete HeartMate 3 implantation without sternotomy, minimizing surgical trauma and accelerating recovery. This minimally invasive approach is feasible, safe, and may represent a new standard in advanced heart failure surgery.

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.

Stopping LVAD Bleeding [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2017
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are efficient pumps that assist the circulation. They are rapidly evolving and being inserted into an increasing number of patients with advanced heart failure either as a bridge to transplantation or increasingly as destination therapy.

Driveline Infections Among Patients Supported With Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Single Center Sixteen‐Year Longitudinal Profile

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Our study of 1026 LVAD implants revealed HeartWare had lower driveline infection rates than other LVAD types. In addition, severe diabetes was associated with higher risk, while older age and coronary artery disease were linked to a lower risk of driveline infections.

Hemocompatibility and Long‐Term Outcomes in HeartWare Versus HeartMate II Versus HeartMate 3: Multicenter Real‐World Cohort

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Multicenter real‐world cohort (n = 327) comparing LVADs: HeartMate 3 (HM3), HeartMate II (HMII), and HeartWare (HVAD). HM3 showed superior long‐term survival versus legacy devices, driven by fewer hemocompatibility‐related adverse events, especially pump thrombosis and ischemic stroke, while major bleeding was similar across devices.
