Study 4 Mullan et al 2020
https://t.co/tAfTnMq3Aj

TV procedures was not associated with survival benefit !

TV procedures was associated with increased risk of bleeding, arrhythmia, and stroke and no improvements in QOL !

🔴 Tricuspid Regurgitation and LVAD

When and how to do it !? Still a non-consensual topic

👇

Study 1 Nakanishi et al 2018
https://t.co/32gighMnPZ

Residual TR in patients who underwent LVAD without TV procedure is associated with higher mortality !

Study 3 Veen et al 2019

TV surgery concomitant with LVAD implant does not seem to be associated with better clinical outcome in a matched cohort !

Study 2 Barac et al 2020
https://t.co/TfQVBNtq6H

37,8 % of TV repair failed !

TV repair failure is associated with increased readmission for RHF !

🔴Inflow cannula insertion depth: A recent lead for more LVAD outcome improvement !

Reduced depth of cannula insertion confer a markedly lower risk of platelet activation !

Do Women Have Inferior Outcomes to Men after LVAD Implantation ?

According to that study, women seem at least to have increased rates of severe right ventricular failures !

Neurocognitive function, quality of life, and functional capacity improve for patients after LVAD support even among those who suffered from neurologic events !

Interesting study by Claudius Mahr et al. on the less invasive "Hannover-VAD-technique": Cost-Effectiveness of Thoracotomy approach: The approach which was established and developed at Hannover Medical School many years ago!

[15th European Mechanical Support Summit @EUMS_2020]

Use of PDE-5 is associated with fewer thrombotic events and improved survival in LVAD patients !

Low and high doses of aspirin have similar safety and efficacy during Heartmate 3 support

Next step : May aspirin be completely avoided in patients treated by Heartmate 3 ?
