6/22/2013 LVAD Support as a Bridge to Transplant in Patients with Heart Failure Complicated by Pulmonary Hypertension Heart transplant listing criteria Heart transplant listing criteria LVAD Support as a Bridge to Transplant in Patients with Heart Failure Complicated by Pulmonary Hypertension Mortality vs Pulmonary Vascular Resistance PVR Transplant Transpulmonary Basic Premise Basic Premise Mortality (WU.M 2 ) Gradient (TPG) < 5% < 4 < 10 Low risk “ Unloading of the LV via LVAD support can “ Unloading of the LV via LVAD support can 10% 4 - 6 10 - 15 improve pulmonary hemodynamics and improve pulmonary hemodynamics and Medium Risk improve candidacy for transplantation “ improve candidacy for transplantation “ 20% > 6 > 15 High risk 2

6/22/2013 LVAD support in patients with end-stage heart failure and pulmonary hypertension - Improves pulmonary hemodynamics - Improvement in PVR/TPG usually occurs early and is sustained - Is associated with acceptable risk - Independent of device type - ?? Should be considered in all cardiac transplant candidates previously considered to have irreversible pulmonary hypertension Mechanical Circulatory Support Options Mechanical Circulatory Support Options for Pulmonary Hypertension for Pulmonary Hypertension 1. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) 2. Right Atrium to Pulmonary Artery (classical RVAD) 3. Pulmonary Artery to Left atrium (with Novalung) 4. Right Atrium to Aorta (with pump and oxygenator) 3

Right Atrium to Aorta (with pump and oxygenator) PA – LA cannulation PA – LA cannulation RVAD / LVAD Support RVAD / LVAD Support (with Novalung) (with Novalung) LVAD RVAD Pros - better RV unloading Inflow - LA Inflow - RA - simpler circuit (no pump) Outflow - Aorta Outflow - PA Cons - thromboembolism risk (especially in children) - requires good RV / LV function - flow not adjustable 7

6/22/2013 RA – Aortic cannulation RA – Aortic cannulation (with pump and oxygenator) (with pump and oxygenator) Pros - not dependent on RV / LV function - flow adjustable (CentriMag) - better oxygenation (Quadrox) - stable cannulae for patient mobilization Cons - less RV unloading Salvage Cardiectomy Salvage Cardiectomy Salvage Cardiectomy Salvage Cardiectomy Atrial cannula Goretex graft Goretex graft Gelweave graft to aorta to aorta to left atrial cuff Aortic cannula Berlin Heart cannulae 8
