The HeartMate 3 risk score (HM3RS) was developed from the Multicenter Study of MagLev Technology in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Circulatory Support Therapy with HeartMate 3 (MOMENTUM 3) clinical trial to predict 1 and 2 year mortality after left ventricular assist device implantation. However, it has not been validated in a real-world population, especially after the heart transplant allocation system change on October 18, 2018. In this multicenter retrospective analysis, we found that HM3RS did not predict 1 and 2 year outcomes in the contemporary era, highlighting the need to revise this risk prediction tool in the real-world setting.

Background: Prior analyses have suggested that a smaller left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with reduced survival following HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device implantation.

Objectives: In this trial-based comprehensive analysis, the authors sought to examine clinical characteristics and association with the outcome of this specific relationship.

Methods: The authors analyzed the presence of LVEDD <55 mm among 1,921 analyzable HeartMate 3 patients within the MOMENTUM 3 (Multicenter Study of MagLev Technology in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Circulatory Support Therapy With HeartMate 3) trial portfolio, on endpoints of overall survival and adverse events at 2 years.

: Pulmonary arterial elastance (Ea) is a helpful parameter to predict the risk of acute postoperative right ventricular failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. A new method for calculating Ea, obtained by the ratio between transpulmonary gradient and stroke volume (Ea), has been proposed as a more accurate measure than the Ea obtained as the ratio between pulmonary artery systolic pressure and stroke volume (Ea). However, the role of Ea in predicting acute RVF post-LVAD implantation remains unclear.

Background And Aims: HeartMate 3 (HM3), a fully magnetically levitated ventricular assist device (LVAD), has been associated with reduced thromboembolic events compared to HeartMate II. However, bleeding events remained significant. Among patients undergoing HM3 implantation, the standard antithrombotic regimen comprises both warfarin and aspirin (ASA), but there is a lack of evidence on the optimum antithrombotic therapy.

Background: Circulatory support with a catheter-based microaxial flow pump (mAFP) plays a major role in the treatment of severe cardiogenic shock. In most patients who fail to recover while on temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) and who are not eligible for heart transplantation, durable left ventricular assist device (dLVAD) implantation is usually considered a reliable option. This study aimed to describe the outcome of dLVAD therapy following mAFP support and to identify predictors of mortality.
