@ajpheartcirc @KingsImaging Which are the roles of pericardial sac and of pulmonary bed compliance during exercise? @asaiojournal @EUMS_2020 @Intl_ISMCS @esao_y @GordonConf @TrevorSnyder15 @ishlt

Study 4 Mullan et al 2020 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… TV procedures was not associated with survival benefit ! TV procedures was associated with increased risk of bleeding, arrhythmia, and stroke and no improvements in QOL ! #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #Hannover #HeartFailure

🔴 Tricuspid Regurgitation and LVAD When and how to do it !? Still a non-consensual topic 👇 Study 1 Nakanishi et al 2018 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… Residual TR in patients who underwent LVAD without TV procedure is associated with higher mortality ! #EUMS_2020 #LVAD

Study 3 Veen et al 2019 academic.oup.com/ejcts/article-… TV surgery concomitant with LVAD implant does not seem to be associated with better clinical outcome in a matched cohort ! #EUMS_2020 #LVAD

Study 2 Barac et al 2020 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 37,8 % of TV repair failed ! TV repair failure is associated with increased readmission for RHF ! #EUMS_2020 #LVAD

🔴Inflow cannula insertion depth: A recent lead for more LVAD outcome improvement ! Reduced depth of cannula insertion confer a markedly lower risk of platelet activation ! 👇 journals.lww.com/asaiojournal/A… @asaiojournal #EUMS_2020 #LVAD

📌Moments from EUMS 2019 Watch our experts discussing the 2019 hottest topics in the 🫀 failure field ! 👇 presentations.congresseums.com/session-8-2019/ #EUMS_2020 #MCS #LVAD #Vienna

Pr LEPRINCE's article of the month : " Causes and predictors of early mortality in patients treated with left ventricular assist device implantation in the European Registry of Mechanical Circulatory Support (EUROMACS) " by Akin et al 👉congresseums.com/wp-content/upl… #EUMS_2020 #LVAD

EUMS 2020 Editoral of the month by Pr Pascal LEPRINCE from #Paris One Goal : Team Work !! overcome-news.net/TNYWTEZ89/55A1… @HopPitieSalpe #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #MCS #HeartFailure #Covid_19 #Hannover

A new telemonitoring algorithm just published by Hannover Medical School to maintain optimal quality of care for LVAD patients during the COVID-19 pandemic ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… @SilviaMarianiMD @JanSchmitto #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #COVID19 #Telemedicine #Hannover

Do Women Have Inferior Outcomes to Men after LVAD Implantation ? According to that study, women seem at least to have increased rates of severe right ventricular failures ! jhltonline.org/article/S1053-… @HKLamba @TheJHLT #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #RVAD #HeartFailure

Neurocognitive function, quality of life, and functional capacity improve for patients after LVAD support even among those who suffered from neurologic events ! jhltonline.org/article/S1053-… @TheJHLT @rcstarling #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #HeartFailure

Interesting study by Claudius Mahr et al. on the less invasive "Hannover-VAD-technique": Cost-Effectiveness of Thoracotomy approach: The approach which was established and developed at Hannover Medical School many years ago!

Use of PDE-5 is associated with fewer thrombotic events and improved survival in LVAD patients ! ahajournals.org/doi/epub/10.11… @AndrewXanthopo1 @KiyoFukamachiMD @American_Heart #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #MCS #Heartfailure

Statin therapy after #LVAD implantation --> Lower rate of and less severe ischemic strokes ! jhltonline.org/article/S1053-… #EUMS_2020 #HeartFailure

Low and high doses of aspirin have similar safety and efficacy during Heartmate 3 support Next step : May aspirin be completely avoided in patients treated by Heartmate 3 ? jhltonline.org/article/S1053-… @TheJHLT #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #Heartfailure

A day to remember : 25th of June 2014 The first implantation in man of a HeartMate 3 device ! It was 6 years ago in #Hannover @JanSchmitto #EUMS_2020 #LVAD #HeartFailure

Largest French study on #LVAD "Current results of left ventricular assist device therapy in France: the ASSIST-ICD registry " Vive la #France ! academic.oup.com/ejcts/article-… @CHURennes @CHU_Lille @Pr_Obadia @CHUBordeaux @CHRUStrasbourg #Paris #EUMS_2020 #HeartFailure #MCS
