One hundred patients with the HeartMate left ventricular assist device: evolving concepts and technology

Abstract: The HeartMate device provided excellent hemodynamic support with low device-related thromboembolic events. Infection and reliability of the device contributed to the high cost of therapy. These areas need to be improved for the left ventricular assist device to attain its goal as a viable alternative to transplantation.

“…The first goal was to develop a device for the temporary support of a patient with terminal heart failure until a donor organ could be found. This strategy has become a daily reality in transplantation centers worldwide since the approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the pneumatically driven left ventricular assist devices as a bridge to transplantation in 1994 and of the self-contained, vented electric devices for the same purpose in 1998 (Mancini et al, 1998;McCarthy et al, 1998;DeRose et al, 1997).…”

“…Although LVADs have been used primarily as a "bridge to transplantation," a number of centers have now begun to implant LVADs as an alternative to transplantation. 2 Indeed, as the technology in this field improves, it is entirely conceivable that LVADs will evolve into small, unobtrusive devices that will run on small, portable, long-lasting battery supplies that will not require external connection to the outside. This, in turn, will allow LVADs to serve as a very reliable alternative to transplantation for many patients with advanced heart failure who cannot receive transplants or who cannot be weaned from LVAD support.…”
