OBJECTIVES: The HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device was first implanted in 2014 and received the Conformité Européenne mark in 2015. Since then, several trials demonstrated its high haemocompatibility associated with good survival and low adverse events rates. Herein, we report our institutional experience with patients supported with HeartMate 3 for 5 years. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included patients receiving a HeartMate 3 implantation in 2014 as part of the HeartMate 3 Conformité Européenne Mark clinical trial. Patients had follow-up visits every 3 months while on left ventricular assist device support, and all patients completed the 5-year follow-up. The primary end point was survival at 5 years. Secondary end points included adverse events, health status and quality of life. RESULTS: Eight patients (men: 75%) aged 59 years (min-max: 52-66 years) were enrolled. At 5 years, survival was 100%. Patients remained on support for a median time of 1825 days (min-max: 101-1825 days); 2 patients successfully received cardiac transplants. No right heart failure, haemolysis, pump thrombosis, pump malfunction or neurological events occurred in any patients. A driveline infection was observed in 6 patients (0.25 events/patient-year). Compared to baseline, a significant improvement in quality of life and in New York Heart Association functional class was noted after the implant and for the whole follow-up time. A slight decline in kidney function and in the 6-min walk test results occurred after 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: This study reports the longest single-centre follow-up of the HeartMate 3, showing excellent haemocompatibility over time with high survival and low complication rates at 5 years.

BACKGROUND: In patients with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device, preimplant predictors of poor physical performance are not well-described. We aimed to identify predictors of inability to walk more than 300 m on 6-minute walk test (6MWT) 6 months after HeartMate 3 implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using data from the European Registry of Patients Implanted With a Full Magnetically Levitated LVAD, patients with available 6MWT at 6 months after implantation were included (N = 194) and grouped according to 6MWT distance (6MWD) of >300 m (n = 150) or 6MWD of <300 m (n = 44). Patients walking <300 m were older (60 ± 10 vs 52 ± 12 years; P < .001), more often New York Heart Association functional class IV (63% vs 42%; P = .03), and more often had type 2 diabetes (43% vs 17%; P < .001) at implantation. Atrial fibrillation was seen in 57% in those with a 6MWT of <300 m vs 31% in those walking longer (P < .002). Further, hemoglobin and estimated glomerular filtration rate was lower in those walking <300 m (both P < .01). In multivariable regression analysis, independent predictors of a 6MWD of <300 m were: atrial fibrillation (odds ratio [OR], 3.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12-8.67), older age (OR for 10-year increment, 2.81; 95% CI, 1.55-5.07), New York Heart Association functional class IV (OR, 3.37; 95% CI, 1.27-8.98), and Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support profile 1 or 2 (OR, 6.53; 95% CI, 1.92-22.19). CONCLUSIONS: Six months after HeartMate 3 implantation, 77% of patients walked >300 meters in 6 minutes. Apart from age and measures of heart failure severity, atrial fibrillation at implantation is an independent predictor of low 6MWD at 6 months after implantation.

AIM: This study aimed to assess safety and outcomes of patients, 2 years after implantation with the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study included 50 adults with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IIIB or IV symptoms or American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association stage D heart failure with an ejection fraction ≤25% and a cardiac index ≤2.2 L/min/m2 without inotropes, or inotrope-dependent with optimal medical management, or listed for heart transplant. The median duration of left ventricular assist device support was 694 days (range: 19-833 days). At baseline, cardiac index was 1.8 ±0.5 L/min/m2 , 58% of patients were receiving inotropes, and 92% were INTERMACS profiles 2-4. At 2 years, Kaplan-Meier survival was 74 ±6%, 5 (10%) patients were transplanted, and 32 patients (64%) remain with support. Adverse event rates include bleeding requiring surgery (16%), gastrointestinal bleeding (20%), driveline infection (24%), ischaemic stroke (16%), haemorrhagic stroke (8%), right heart failure (14%), and outflow graft thrombosis (2%). Notably, no haemolysis, pump thrombosis, or pump malfunction events occurred. At 2 years, 47% of patients remained in NYHA class I and 41% in NYHA class II (P <0.0001). From baseline to 2 years, the mean six-minute walk distance increased from 239 m to 347 m (P <0.0001), and the mean EQ-5D quality of life score improved from 48.2 to 70.6 (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Two years post-HeartMate 3 implantation, results show expected and acceptable survival, enhanced haemocompatibility, improved patient functional status and quality of life. This corroborates the success of HeartMate 3 since its first-in-man implantation case in Germany. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02170363.

BACKGROUND: The HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) (St. Jude Medical Inc., St Paul, MN) with full magnetic levitation allows for wide and consistent blood flow paths and an artificial pulse designed for enhanced hemocompatibility. The HeartMate 3 received market approval in the European Union in 2015 following completion of a multicenter study. After reaching the 6-month study endpoint, patients continue to be followed for 2 years with the 1-year results presented herein. METHODS: A prospective, non-randomized study included adults with advanced heart failure and ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 25%, cardiac index (CI) ≤ 2.2 L/min/m2 while not on inotropes, or inotrope dependent, or on optimal medical management for 45/60 days. RESULTS: Fifty patients-54% bridge to transplant (BTT) and 46% destination therapy (DT)-were enrolled and implanted with the HeartMate 3. At baseline, 92% of the patients were INTERMACS profiles 2-4, with cardiac index 1.8 + 0.5 L/min/m(2) and 58% were supported with inotropes. At 1 year, 74% of the patients remain on support, 18% expired, 6% transplanted, and 2% explanted. The adverse events include 12% gastrointestinal bleeding, 16% driveline infections, 18% strokes, and 2% outflow graft thrombosis. There was no hemolysis, pump thrombosis or pump malfunction through 1 year. The six-minute walk test distance increased from a mean of 273 m to 371 m (P <0.0001). EQ-5D quality-of-life score increased from a mean of 52.7 to 70.8 (P = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS: The 1-year HeartMate 3 LVAS results show survival and adverse-event profile are similar to other approved devices, with no pump thrombosis or pump failure. Patient's functional status and quality of life significantly improved over time. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov registration number: NCT02170363 . Registered June 19, 2014.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to describe the operative experience and 30-day outcomes of patients implanted with the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) during the Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark clinical trial. METHODS: Adult patients met inclusion and exclusion criteria defining advanced-stage heart failure and included the indications of bridge to transplant and destination therapy. Operative parameters, outcomes, adverse events, physical status and quality-of-life parameters were assessed in the first 30 days after LVAS implant. RESULTS: Fifty patients were implanted with the HeartMate 3 at 10 centres in 6 countries. The 30-day survival rate was 98%. The median operative and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 200 (range: 95-585) min and 84 (range: 47-250) min, respectively. Patients required transfusion with packed red blood cells (3.6 ± 2.3 units), fresh frozen plasma (6.5 ± 5 units) and platelets (2 ± 1 units). Six patients (12%) required reoperation for postoperative bleeding and 10 patients (20%) did not require blood transfusion. The median intensive care time was 6 days (range: 1-112 days) and the total hospital stay was 28 days (range: 14-116 days). The most common adverse events were bleeding (15, 30%), arrhythmia (14, 28%) and infection (10, 20%). There were 2 (4%) strokes. CONCLUSIONS: The 30-day outcomes following implantation of the HeartMate 3 demonstrates excellent survival with low adverse event rates. The LVAD performed as intended with no haemolysis or device failure. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER: NCT02170363. HeartMate 3™ CE Mark Clinical Investigation Plan (HM3 CE Mark).

BACKGROUND: The HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist system (LVAS) is intended to provide long-term support to patients with advanced heart failure. The centrifugal flow pump is designed for enhanced hemocompatibility by incorporating a magnetically levitated rotor with wide blood-flow paths and an artificial pulse. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this single-arm, prospective, multicenter study was to evaluate the performance and safety of this LVAS. METHODS: The primary endpoint was 6-month survival compared with INTERMACS (Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support)-derived performance goal. Patients were adults with ejection fraction ≤ 25%, cardiac index ≤ 2.2 l/min/m(2) without inotropes or were inotrope-dependent on optimal medical management, or listed for transplant. RESULTS: Fifty patients were enrolled at 10 centers. The indications for LVAS support were bridge to transplantation (54%) or destination therapy (46%). At 6 months, 88% of patients continued on support, 4% received transplants, and 8% died. Thirty-day mortality was 2% and 6-month survival 92%, which exceeded the 88% performance goal. Support with the fully magnetically levitated LVAS significantly reduced mortality risk by 66% compared with the Seattle Heart Failure Model-predicted survival of 78% (p = 0.0093). Key adverse events included reoperation for bleeding (14%), driveline infection (10%), gastrointestinal bleeding (8%), and debilitating stroke (modified Rankin Score > 3) (8%). There were no pump exchanges, pump malfunctions, pump thrombosis, or hemolysis events. New York Heart Association classification, 6-min walk test, and quality-of-life scores showed progressive and sustained improvement. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that the fully magnetically levitated centrifugal-flow chronic LVAS is safe, with high 30-day and 6-month survival rates, a favorable adverse event profile, and improved quality of life and functional status.
