TL;DR: Among patients with advanced heart failure, a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal‐flow left ventricular assist device was associated with less frequent need for pump replacement than an axial‐flow device and was superior with respect to survival free of disabling stroke or reoperation to replace or remove a malfunctioning device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected Abrupt Increase in Left Ventricular Assist Device Thrombosis
Randall C. Starling,Nader Moazami,Scott C. Silvestry,Gregory A. Ewald,Joseph G. Rogers,Carmelo A. Milano,J. Eduardo Rame,Michael A. Acker,Eugene H. Blackstone,John Ehrlinger,Lucy Thuita,Maria Mountis,Edward G. Soltesz,Bruce W. Lytle,Nicholas G. Smedira +14 more
TL;DR: The rate of pump thrombosis related to the use of the HeartMate II has been increasing at centers and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) analysis of pump thrombosis in the HeartMate II left ventricular assist device
James K. Kirklin,David C. Naftel,Robert L. Kormos,Francis D. Pagani,Susan L. Myers,Lynne W. Stevenson,Michael A. Acker,Daniel L. Goldstein,Scott C. Silvestry,Carmelo A. Milano,J.T. Baldwin,Sean Pinney,J. Eduardo Rame,Marissa A. Miller +13 more
TL;DR: Risk factor analysis suggests that a number of patient-related factors contribute to the risk of thrombosis, and that survival remains high (80% at 1 year) with the HMII LVAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of a novel percutaneous ventricular assist device for right heart failure: The prospective RECOVER RIGHT study of the Impella RP device.
Mark B. Anderson,James A. Goldstein,Carmelo A. Milano,Lynn D. Morris,Robert L. Kormos,Jay K. Bhama,Navin K. Kapur,Aditya Bansal,Jose Manuel Perez Garcia,Joshua N. Baker,Scott C. Silvestry,William L. Holman,Pamela S. Douglas,William W. O'Neill +13 more
TL;DR: In patients with life-threatening RVF, the novel percutaneous Impella RP device was safe, easy to deploy, and reliably resulted in immediate hemodynamic benefit, and data support its probable benefit in this gravely ill patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algorithm for the diagnosis and management of suspected pump thrombus
Daniel J. Goldstein,Ranjit John,Christopher T. Salerno,Scott C. Silvestry,Nader Moazami,Douglas A. Horstmanshof,Robert M. Adamson,Andrew J. Boyle,Mark J. Zucker,Joseph G. Rogers,Stuart D. Russell,James W. Long,Francis D. Pagani,Ulrich P. Jorde +13 more
TL;DR: A group of leading investigators in the field of mechanical support propose an algorithm for the diagnosis and management of pump thrombosis based on clinical symptoms and serologic and imaging studies.
