Value of nutritional indices in predicting survival free from pump replacement and driveline infections in centrifugal left ventricular assist devices Open
Preoperative PNI scores may independently predict mortality and the need for device replacement in patients with HM3 LVAD. Routine use of the PNI score during preoperative evaluation and, when possible, supplementation to PNI >33, may be o…

Progression of aortic valve insufficiency during centrifugal versus axial flow left ventricular assist device support Open
OBJECTIVES Long-term left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support can cause accelerated progression of aortic insufficiency (AI). The MOMENTUM trial has led to increased use of the HeartMate 3 (HM3) LVAD, due to greater hemocompatibility.…

Incidence and Diagnostic Challenges of Bowel Ischemia after Continuous-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy Open
Long-term continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CFLVAD) therapy is limited by complications. Compared with stroke and renal dysfunction, post-CFLVAD bowel ischemia is poorly characterized. Adult patients who underwent first-time …
