Bleeding And Thromboembolic Events In Patients With Heartmate Ii Mechanical Circulatory Support, Salman Allana, Carrie Chapman, Nancy Sweitzer, Maryl Johnson, Takushi Kohmoto, Margaret Murray, David Murray, Zhanhai Li, Peter S. Rahko
Bleeding And Thromboembolic Events In Patients With Heartmate Ii Mechanical Circulatory Support, Salman Allana, Carrie Chapman, Nancy Sweitzer, Maryl Johnson, Takushi Kohmoto, Margaret Murray, David Murray, Zhanhai Li, Peter S. Rahko
The VAD Journal
Background: Bleeding and thromboembolic events (TE) are common complications following HeartMate II (HMII) implantation. The aim of the study was to review our experience related to bleeding and TE events in patients with a HMII and identify factors associated with increased risk of these events.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 70 consecutive patients who received a HMII between May 2006 and December 2011. The patients were followed for 12 months or until cardiac transplantation, device explantation or death. Major bleeding was defined by INTERMACS criteria with intracranial bleeding events added.
Results: There were 48 bleeding events in 28 (40%) patients with …

Inotropes Are Not Linked To Increased Mortality In Heart Failure, Maya Guglin
The VAD Journal
How to use inotropes is one of the most controversial topics in the management of heart failure. While most clinicians use these drugs, and recognize the state of inotrope dependency, current guidelines recommend them onlu as a bridge or palliation. Thus, inotropes are considered either neutral or detrimental in terms of outcomes. Meanwhile, properly designed randomized clinical trials testing the outcomes on inotropes, have never been performed and it is unlikely that they will ever be attempted. These trials would require randomizing patients with advanced heart failure, low output syndrome, and impaired end-organ perfusion into groups that received or not …

The VAD Journal
Electrocardiographic abnormalities have been described in the setting of acute rejection following orthotopic cardiac transplantation. The following is a brief commentary related to an interesting case report by Goldraich et al. which was recently published in the VAD Journal.

Successful Left Ventricular Assist Device Support In Patient With Bjork-Shiley Mitral Valve Replacement, Navin Rajagopalan, David C. Booth
The VAD Journal
There is limited clinical experience with left ventricular assist device therapy in patients with prosthetic mitral valves. We present a case of successful left ventricular assist device support in a patient with previous mechanical mitral valve replacement.

Left Ventricular Assist Device As Destination Therapy, Maya Guglin, Leslie W. Miller
Left Ventricular Assist Device As Destination Therapy, Maya Guglin, Leslie W. Miller
The VAD Journal
Mechanical circulatory support is the most rapidly evolving strategy in heart failure management. The growing number of patients who need better results than medical therapy can offer, the limited pool of donors for cardiac transplantation, and several technological breakthroughs have all made the option of implanting a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as destination therapy more important.
In this review, we outline the indications and decision making process of considering a patient for a destination therapy LVAD, as well as outcomes, complications, and issues related to management of patients on currently approved devices. The future direction of the field will …
