PREVENtion of HeartMate II Pump Thrombosis

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
HeartMate II Pump Thrombosis
Interventions
Other: Clinical Management Recommendations for reducing pump thrombosis
Registration Number
NCT02158403
Lead Sponsor
Abbott Medical Devices
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how often blood clots form in the FDA-approved HeartMate® II (HM II) Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and to identify risks related to clotting within the pump.

Detailed Description

PREVENT is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study that is designed (1) to assess the incidence of HM II pump thrombosis in the current era when recommended practices for clinical management are adopted, and (2) to identify the risk factors associated with pump thrombosis events. The recommended practices are focused on implantation technique, anticoagulation regimen, pump speed and blood pressure management. All consecutive patients receiving a HM II implant will be considered for this study.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survival on LVAD support at six months post HM II implantation6 months
Multivariate analysis of risk factors for pump thrombosis including demographics, anti-coagulation regimen, selected laboratory data (INR, LDH, plasma free Hgb), pump position measures, pump parameters and blood pressureBaseline and 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery
Incidence of suspected pump thrombosis (including unexplained hemolysis) within three and six months of HM II implantation3 and 6 months
Incidence of protocol-defined anticipated adverse eventsBaseline, 1 month , 3 months and 6 months after surgery
Incidence of pump exchange, urgent transplantation or death due to pump thrombosis within three and six months of HM II implantation3 and 6 months
Characterization of pump position in the study population (measured via quantitative assessment of X-ray images including inflow cannula angle, outflow cannula angle and pump pocket depth)1 week and 6 months after surgery
Subgroup analysis of subjects identified as having a hypercoagulable disorder prior to HM II implantationBaseline and 3 months after implant
Characterization of selected lab values (INR, LDH and plasma free Hgb) within the study populationBaseline, 1 week (plus or minus 3 days), 1 month (plus or minus 7 days), 3 months and 6 months (plus or minus 30 days) after surgery
Characterization of pump parameters in the study population including power (watts), speed (rpm), flow (L/min), and pulsatility index1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery
Incidence of confirmed pump thrombosis within six months of HM II implantation6 months
