In-hospital stroke and mortality trends after left ventricular assist device implantation in the United States from 2017 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found a significant downtrend in the in-hospital mortality rates among patients with LVAD without substantial changes in stroke rate trends over the study timeframe. As stroke rates remained steady, we hypothesize that improved management along with better control of blood pressure, could have played an important role in survival benefit over the study time frame.PMID:37387231 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231183723

Outflow cannula alignment in continuous flow left ventricular devices is associated with stroke
Int J Artif Organs. 2023 Mar 9:3913988231154284. doi: 10.1177/03913988231154284. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe sought to evaluate whether differences in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) canula alignment are associated with stroke. There is a paucity of clinical data on contribution of LVAD canulae alignment to strokes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent LVAD implantation at Houston Methodist hospital from 2011 to 2016 and included those who had undergone cardiac computed tomography (CT) with contrast. LVAD graft alignment using X-ray, echocardiography, and cardiac CT was evaluated. The ...

Comparison of household income in in-hospital outcomes after implantation of left ventricular assist device
CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing LVAD implantation nationwide, low-income was associated with increased comorbidity burden, younger age, and fewer in-hospital complications and all-cause mortality.PMID:34719291 | DOI:10.1177/03913988211056960
