Impact of mechanical circulatory support on post-transplant stroke risk
This study assesses if the type of circulatory support device affects stroke risk in this population. The study cohort of 4257 adult patients bridged with mechanical support to cardiac transplant were derived from the UNOS transplant registry data. Risk factors assessed were age, gender, ischemic time, diabetes (recipient), durable mechanical support at listing and mechanical ventilation pre-transplant. Descriptive statistics were used to describe characteristics of the study cohort. Univariate logistic regression was used to test if there is a significant association between stroke event and all the potential risk factors...

Cerebral Vasoreactivity in HeartMate 3 Patients
While rates of stroke have declined with the HeartMate3 (HM3) continuous flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD), the impact of non-pulsatile flow and artificial pulse physiology on cerebrovascular function is not known. We hypothesized that improved hemodynamics and artificial pulse physiology of HM3 patients would augment cerebrovascular metabolic reactivity (CVR) compared with HeartMate II (HMII) CF-LVAD and heart failure (HF) patients.

Neurologic Complications After Pediatric Heart Transplant: A Single-Center Experience
CONCLUSIONS: Neurologic complications may lead to serious mortality and morbidity in pediatric heart transplant patients. Seizures, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, transient ischemic attack, and cerebral infections are the most common neurologic complications, which are seen in the perioperative period in particular. Careful follow-up of pediatric heart transplant patients, with detection and early treatment of neurologic findings, will contribute to lower rates of sequelae. To our knowledge, this is the largest study to show a detailed experience of neurologic complications in ...

Low Left Ventricular Stroke Work Index is Associated with a Poor Prognosis in LVAD Patients
Hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAE) are thought to be largely driven by the pump-patient interaction. We hypothesized that patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) with low left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI), and thus less native contribution to total flow, would have more adverse clinical outcomes.

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Oxidative Stress May Predict the Risk of Stroke in Patients Supported by Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Stroke is one of the leading complications during CF-LVAD support. The purpose of this observational study was to investigate the temporal relationship of circulating homocysteine (Hcy) and oxidative stress as potential markers to identify CF-LVAD patients at risk for developing postoperative strokes.
