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.

Three Ventricular Assist Devices (True TriVAD) as Bridge to Durable Biventricular Support (BiVAD) in LVAD Patient With Severe Aortic Regurgitation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
An LVAD patient with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) developed right heart failure and multi‐organ dysfunction (MOD). tRVAD support caused LV overload and pulmonary edema. Impella 5.5 implantation successfully unloaded the LV and stabilized the patient, enabling durable RVAD implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement.

Recent Developments in Ventricular Assist Device Therapy

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
The evolution of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) from large, pulsatile systems to compact, continuous-flow pumps has significantly improved implantation outcomes and patient mobility. Minimally invasive surgical techniques have emerged that offer

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.

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 ...

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

Higher sensitivity to ouabain‐induced toxicity in human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes than human adult heart tissue despite similar Na+/K+‐ATPase pump current amplitudes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CM) have gained interest as a pharmacological model but their immaturity leads to uncertainty regarding translation. We studied the key player in maintaining ionic homeostasis, the Na+/K+‐ATPase (NKA), in hiPSC‐CM.
