AbstractBackgroundMechanical circulatory support has garnered significant popularity as both a bridge to transplant as well as a destination therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. Right heart failure (RHF) is a devastating complication after LVAD placement and is very unpredictable. Assisted circulation of the left ventricle (LV) with an LVAD device could unmask an underlying RHF. However, otherwise healthy right ventricles (RVs) can develop RHF after LVAD placement as well due to poor adaptation to new filling pressures and altered hemodynamics. It has been proposed that preoperative volumetric measurements in the pulmonary and systemic vasculature may serve as indicators for a risk of RHF after LVAD implantation. The aim of this study is to examine a potential relationship of preoperative hemodynamic values such as pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) and the ratio of central venous pressure to pulmonary wedge pressure (CVP/PWP) as preoperative predictors for RHF post LVAD placement.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing initially planned isolated LVAD implantation with or without concomitant procedures in our institution from January 1, 2017 to June 12, 2020. Data were gathered from hemodynamic records, echocardiographic interpretations, and clinical notes. Patients who had RHF after LVAD implantation but without hemodynamic data available within 14 days from the operation were excluded. Univariable analysis was performed.ResultsOf the 114 patients who received planned isolated LVAD surgery, 70 (61.4%) experienced RHF within the first 7 days postoperatively. PAPi did not correlate significantly with RHF vs non-RHF among LVAD recipients (3.1 ± 2.1 vs. 3.8 ± 3.4P= 0.21). Pre-op CVP/PWP did not differ significantly between RHF and non-RHF patients (0.4 ± 0.2 vs. 0.5 ± 0.8P= 0.28). There was a nonsignificant correlation between elevated pre-op PWP and those with RHF vs those without,OR= 1.05 (95%CI: 1.00, 1.10). Pre-op systolic pulmonary artery pressure (SysPAP) was elevated in patients with post-LVAD RHF compared to those without (51.3 ± 12.3 vs. 47.2 ± 13.0,P= 0.09).ConclusionPreoperative hemodynamic variables such as PAPi or CVP/PWP did not show a significant correlation predicting RHF post LVAD implantation. Acute RHF post LVAD implantation remains a complex medical entity. Several studies have devised multivariable risk scores; however, their performance has been limited. Despite the widespread use of preoperative hemodynamics measurements as risk scores, our study suggests these scores are not as accurate as their use would suggest, particularly among especially morbid patient populations. More prospective studies are needed to accurately demonstrate how preoperative hemodynamics could predict and help prevent this catastrophic complication.
