Brief Summary

Medtronic is sponsoring the Apogee study to further enhance scientific understanding of the implant procedure, optimized blood pressure management, and anticoagulation/ antiplatelet therapy in patients receiving a Medtronic HeartWare™ Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD™) for destination therapy.

The Apogee study is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Platform.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Major Adverse EventsImplant to 12 months

Freedom from event is the probability (expressed as a percent of 100) the participant did not have a major adverse event during 12 months post implant via the Kaplan-Meier method. Participants that did not have a major adverse event were censored at the time of last follow-up in Apogee or their end of study at 12 months post implant, whichever occurred first.

Major adverse events are defined to be occurrence of infection, bleeding, device malfunction, CT confirmed stroke, or death. Infection, bleeding, device malfunction and CT confirmed stroke were categorized via Intermacs Version 5.0.

Events occurring during the implant procedure were excluded.
