Abstract
- AimsWe aim to study the feasibility and clinical value of pulmonary artery pressure monitoring with the CardioMEMS™device in order to optimize and guide treatment in patients with a HeartMate3left ventricular assist device (LVAD).Methods and resultsIn this single-centre, prospective pilot study, we will include10consecutive patients with New YorkHeart Association Class IIIb or IV with Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support Classes2–5scheduledfor implantation of a HeartMate3LVAD. Prior to LVAD implantation, patients will receive a CardioMEMS sensor, for dailypulmonary pressure readings. The haemodynamic information provided by the CardioMEMS will be used to improvehaemodynamic status prior to LVAD surgery and optimize the timing of LVAD implantation. Post-LVAD implantation, thehaemodynamic changes will be assessed for additive value in detecting potential complications in an earlier stage (bleedingand tamponade). During the outpatient clinic phase, we will assess whether the haemodynamic feedback can optimize pumpsettings, detect potential complications, and further tailor the clinical management of these patients.ConclusionsThe HEMO-VAD study is thefirst prospective pilot study to explore the safety and feasibility of usingCardioMEMS for optimization of LVAD therapy with additional (remote) haemodynamic information.
