Objective: No clinical study compares outcomes of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation in patients with end-stage heart failure secondary to ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ICM (NICM). The purpose of this study is to analyze the outcome of LVAD therapy in these 2 cohorts of patients. Materials and Methods: Forty-four patients had HeartMate II LVAD implantation between September 2012 and August 2014. Charts were retrospectively reviewed and data accumulated were statistically analyzed. Results: A total of 23 (52%) patients were presented with ICM. Average age in ICM was 63.7 ± 6.8 years as opposed to 53.9 ± 16.3 in NICM (P = 0.017). About 78% of ICM and 67% of NICM group were male (P = 0.388). 43.5% of ICM had undergone previous cardiac operation versus 9.5% of NICM (P = 0.012). Implant strategy was bridge to transplant in 78% of ICM and 67% of NICM (P = NS) and destination therapy in 22% of ICM and 33% of NICM (P = NS). A thirty-day mortality rate was 17% in the ICM and 0% in the NICM (P = 0.06). One-year mortality was 39% for ICM and 19% for NICM (P = 0.14). On multivariate analysis, ICM emerged as an independent predictor of mortality (odds ratio: 3.19). Variables such as serum creatinine, inotropic or vasopressor requirement, intraaortic balloon pump use, or complex operations involving aortic or tricuspid valves at the time of LVAD placement did not impact mortality. Conclusions: This report, based on a nonmatched cohort of 44 patients, demonstrates that in an era of selective criteria for LVAD implantation, ICM emerges as an independent predictor of mortality. These patients tend to be older and are more likely to be undergoing reoperative sternotomy. These results should form the basis for a larger scale investigation of LVAD implantation in ICM patients. |
