Comment on: Evaluation of low-intensity anti-coagulation with a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal-flow circulatory pump – the MAGENTUM 1 study

This study is able to show uniform results that lie on a single side of the hemostatic scale (no thromboses, some bleeding). It is this type of result that can lead us to be conservative with anticoagulation. However, this trial is rare in the evolution of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device management.
