NCT04548128

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, post-market, multi-center, non-blinded, single arm study of the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS). The objective of this study is to evaluate the implantation of the HM3 utilizing techniques other than full median sternotomy (e.g. thoracotomy) and impact on post-implant length of stay.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients surviving at 6 months free of debilitating stroke (Modified Rankin Score > 3), device malfunction requiring re-operation to replace or remove the device, or conversion of the implant surgical approach to open sternotomy.

    The composite primary endpoint of the study is survival at 6 months free of debilitating stroke (Modified Rankin Score \> 3), device malfunction requiring re-operation to replace or remove the device, or conversion of the implant surgical approach to open sternotomy.

    6 Months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Length of Stay

    Initial hospital stay, approximately 3 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Treatment Arm

The treatment arm will have the HM3 LVAS implanted utilizing a technique other than full median sternotomy (e.g. thoracotomy).

Device: HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (HM3 LVAS)

Interventions

This clinical trial investigates implant of the HM3 LVAS by techniques other than full median sternotomy.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Male and female subjects from the general heart failure population.

You may qualify if:

  • Subject or Legal Representative has provided written informed consent by signing the study Informed Consent Form (ICF)
  • Subject must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent
  • Subject is receiving the HM3 as their first LVAD
  • Body surface area (BSA) ≥ 1.2m2
  • Subject is NYHA Class III with dyspnea upon mild physical activity or NYHA Class IV
  • LVEF ≤ 25%
  • Subject is:
  • Inotrope dependent OR
  • Has CI\<2.2 L/min/m2, while not on inotropes and meets one of the following criteria:
  • On optimal medical management (OMM), based on current heart failure practice guidelines for at least 45 out of the last 60 days and is failing to respond to therapy
  • Advanced heart failure for at least 14 days AND dependent on intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for at least 7 days
  • Females of child bearing age must agree to use adequate contraception

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has a planned concomitant procedure at time of implant (e.g. valve repair, CABG, ASD repair, etc)
  • Subject has greater than mild aortic insufficiency
  • Physiologically significant (i.e. requires intervention) atrial septal defect
  • Subject has severe right heart failure (RHF) (refer to Appendix 2 for guidance)
  • Subject has planned Bi-VAD support prior to enrollment
  • Presence of mechanical aortic valve that will not be either converted to bioprosthesis or oversewn at the time of LVAD implant
  • Subject has ongoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) at the time of LVAD surgery other than IABP
  • Subject has a history of any organ transplant
  • Positive pregnancy test
  • Etiology of heart failure (HF) due to or associated with uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, amyloidosis or restrictive cardiomyopathy
  • Technical obstacles which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the investigator
  • Platelet count \< 100,000 x 103/L (\< 100,000/ml)
  • Psychiatric disease/disorder, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and LVAS management
  • History of confirmed, untreated AAA \> 5 cm in diameter within 6 months of enrollment
  • Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection
  • +12 more criteria
