Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a Continuous-Flow Device in Patients Awaiting Heart Transplantation
Leslie W. Miller,Leslie W. Miller,Francis D. Pagani,Stuart D. Russell,Ranjit John,Andrew J. Boyle,Keith D. Aaronson,John V. Conte,Yoshifumi Naka,Donna Mancini,Reynolds M. Delgado,Thomas E. MacGillivray,David J. Farrar,O.H. Frazier +13 more
TL;DR: A continuous-flow left ventricular assist device can provide effective hemodynamic support for a period of at least 6 months in patients awaiting heart transplantation, with improved functional status and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A continuous-flow LVAD provides effective hemodynamic support for at least 18 months in patients awaiting transplantation, with improved functional status and quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation as Destination Therapy in the Post-REMATCH Era: Implications for Patient Selection
Katherine Lietz,Katherine Lietz,Katherine Lietz,James W. Long,Abdallah G. Kfoury,Mark S. Slaughter,Marc A. Silver,Carmelo A. Milano,Joseph G. Rogers,Yoshifumi Naka,Donna Mancini,Leslie W. Miller,Leslie W. Miller +12 more
TL;DR: Outcomes of DT in the post-REMATCH era in the United States are described, finding that patients with advanced heart failure who are referred for DT before major complications of heart failure develop have the best chance of achieving an excellent 1-year survival with LVAD therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
A Fully Magnetically Levitated Circulatory Pump for Advanced Heart Failure
Mandeep R. Mehra,Yoshifumi Naka,Nir Uriel,Daniel J. Goldstein,Joseph C. Cleveland,Paolo C. Colombo,Mary Norine Walsh,Carmelo A. Milano,Chetan B. Patel,Ulrich P. Jorde,Francis D. Pagani,Keith D. Aaronson,David A. Dean,Kelly McCants,Akinobu Itoh,Gregory A. Ewald,Douglas A. Horstmanshof,James W. Long,Christopher T. Salerno +18 more
TL;DR: Among patients with advanced heart failure, implantation of a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal‐flow pump was associated with better outcomes at 6 months than was implanted of an axial‐ flow pump, primarily because of the lower rate of reoperation for pump malfunction.
