Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: -Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF) -Age *18 years -LVEF 35 kg/m2
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: *No written informed consent *Patients with contra-indications for the PA pressure sensor device, which will include active infection, a history of deep vein thrombosis or recurrent pulmonary embolism, *Patients unable to tolerate right heart catheterization *Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies *Patients with a known coagulation disorder or hypersensitivity to aspirin. *History of pulmonary embolism within 30 days prior to enrollment or history of recurrent (>1 episode) pulmonary embolism and/or deep vein thrombosis *Fixed pulmonary hypertension with a most recent PVR * 8 Wood units that is unresponsive to pharmacologic intervention (which makes CardioMEMS sensor no additive value) *History of stroke within 90 days prior to enrollment, or a history of cerebrovascular disease with significant (> 80%) uncorrected carotid stenosis *Serum creatinine * 221 umol/L or eGFR below 25 or the need for chronic renal replacement therapy *Psychiatric disease/disorder, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and LVAD management *Patients with mechanical right heart valves, *INTERMACS 1 emergency LVAD implantations.
Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - investigate whether the use of CardioMEMS PA sensor in HeartMate-III LVAD patients improves outcome, reduce complications and reduce HF hospitalizations - to study detected hemodynamic effects in case of LVAD associated complications such as RV failure, pump thrombosis, gastro-intestinal bleeding or pump infection - to study the reversibility of pulmonary pressures and pulmonary hypertension during LVAD therapy | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate the feasibility of using hemodynamic guidance by the PA sensor in LVAD HM-III patients. | — |
