Abstract:
BACKGROUND:We reviewed our experience concerning the clinical outcomes of emergency implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in patients not eligible for heart transplantation (HTX). PATIENTS AND METHODS:Between January 1998 and September 2006, 62 patients were referred for emergency HTX including 35 (55%) who received cardiac allografts; 9 (14%) died on the waiting list. The other 18 subjects (31%) did not meet listing criteria due to pulmonary hypertension with massive transpulmonary gradients (TPG), severe diabetes, or another factor; 7 patients had wearable LVAD implants and the remaining 11 who had contraindications both to HTX and to LVAD implantation remained on medical therapy. RESULTS:Twelve month actuarial survivals were 47% in LVAD G1 vs 1% in medical therapy G2 (P< .005). Four G1 patients died either due to cerebrovascular vascular episodes or to thromboembolic events. The beneficial use of LVAD in 3 patients led to consistent improvement in hemodynamic performance allowing listing for HTX. Two of them have been successfully transplanted; 1 is still waiting. Due to refractory heart failure, 90% of G2 died within the first months after evaluation. CONCLUSION:Our limited experience indicated that emergency use of LVAD ensued a satisfactory outcome allowing better actuarial survival.
