Survival in patients with advanced heart failure (AHF) has improved over the last 2 decades. An increasing number of patients however, are dying with progressive heart failure over the same duration. Optimal utilization of medical therapies and devices like implantable defibrillators and biventricular pacemakers are the likely reasons patients are surviving longer albeit with progressive HF.
Evolution in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices has occurred over the same period, such that they can now be rapidly instituted providing support for pump failure, often percutaneously, with timely restitution of physiologic and metabolic derangements with fewer complications.
MCS devices can be classified as Short term and Long term. Short term devices such as Intraaortic balloon pumps (IABP), Impella ®, TandemHeart® or Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA – ECMO) using a Cardiohelp® device, are usually employed as ‘Bridge to Recovery’(BTR) or Bridge to Decision’(BTD), usually in acute settings. Long term devices such as implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) e.g. Heartmate II® & 3®, Heart ware HVAD® are implanted as ‘Bridge to transplant’ (BTT) or ‘Destination therapy’ (DT) usually in patients ‘sliding’ on inotropes when they are transplant eligible (BTT) or ineligible (DT) respectively.
Ventricular assist devices have traditionally been developed for left ventricular support in case of severe left heart or biventricular dysfunction. Historically, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction following LVAD implantation or as a component of biventricular dysfunction was managed with either medical therapy, temporary VADs (i.e. ECMO configuration with continuous flow centrifugal pumps like CentriMag®, Rotaflow ®) or occasionally with LVADs placed on the right side. Recently the Impella RP® and ProtekDuo®, percutaneously placed pumps with inflow in the inferior vena cava & right atrium respectively and outflow in pulmonary artery, have become available as less invasive options, for short term RV support.
The Syncardia® is the only approved total artificial heart system currently in use; however various biventricular, total heart systems (e.g. BiVACOR®) in development show promise.
Mechanical circulatory devices provide attractive, viable, physiologically plausible ventricular support options that can be used effectively in carefully selected patients.

Transcatheter mitral valve-in ring implantation (TMViRI), is a novel alternative treatment strategy and promising technique for patients at high risk of repeat open-heart surgery. In this report we demonstrate a case of 61 years old male with multiple co morbidities who underwent mitral valve repair long time ago who successfully treated and dramatically improved through trans-septal approach, under trans oesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopic guidance in Hybrid catheterization laboratory.
RECENT ADVANCES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF REFRACTORY HEART FAILUREApollo Hospitals
Heart failure is a pathophysiological state in which structural or functional cardiac disorder impairs the ability of the heart to function as a pump to support the physiological circulation. The medical therapy remains the
mainstay of treatment in these patients. The medical therapy can improve the quality of life and the longevity in
these patients, but this becomes insufficient in refractory heart failure. The heart failure is considered refractory when patients continued to be symptomatic despite optimal dose of medications, characterized by advanced structural heart disease. These patients will need frequent hospitalizations and the overall prognosis is very poor.

19. Peripheral MCS: the Left Side of the Equation
Impella 5.5
• Catheter-based microaxial pump
• Can be implanted peripherally through axillary artery side graft
• Advanced into the left ventricle with inflow positioned in the LV
cavity and the outflow positioned in the proximal aorta
• Pump flows of >5 lpm
• Compared with prior generation impella devices it is easier to
position within the LV cavity, holds its position better, and rates or
serious hemolysis are substantially reduced
20. Peripheral MCS: the Right Side of the Equation
Dual lumen cannulas with extracorporeal circuit
• Percutaneously inserted through right internal
jugular or one of the subclavian veins
• Device inflow situated in the right atrium and device
outflow position in the pulmonary artery
• Oxygenator can be included within circuit for gas
exchange support

22. Peripheral BiVAD Bridge to Transplant: One Patient’s Story
• 25 YO M with prior OHT 2021 presented to outside
institution in profound cardiogenic shock
• Presumptive viral myocarditis
• Cannulated for VA-ECMO + right axillary impella cp
• Transferred to DUMC for consideration of OHT after ~2
weeks on VA-ECMO support and no improvement in
allograft function
• Following arrival at DUMC had clinical deterioration
related to pneumonia requiring intubation and AKI
requiring CRRT
• Transitioned from ECMO to peripheral BiVAD support
with left axillary Impella 5.5 and Protek Duo plus
oxygenator
23. • Intensive medical management and rehabilitation
while on peripheral BiVAD support
• Tracheostomy and slow vent wean + removal
of oxygenator from RVAD circuit
• Renal replacement therapy
• PT/OT/Mobilization
• Once felt to be suitable from a medical and
conditioning standpoint, he was activated for heart
and kidney transplantation (status 2)
• After 61 days of peripheral BiVAD support
underwent successful heart and kidney
transplantation

24. Evolving Technology for Cardiac Allograft Preservation
LV vent
PA drainage cannula
Pacing wires
Drain to pump
From pump Root Vent
Access ports for
labs draws and med
administration
Transmedics Organ Care System
• Transportable unit that places the
donor heart in series with a pump and
oxygenator with circulation of
oxygenated normothermic donor
blood
• Minimal medicine and substrate
additives
• FDA approved for BD donors 2021 and
DCD donors 2022
25. Conclusions
• The current durable LVAD Heartmate 3 represents a marked
improvement compared to prior durable LVAD devices, with improved
long term-survival and complication profile
• Improving technology in temporary mechanical support and cardiac
allograft preservation has allowed heart transplantation to be
extended to more end-stage heart failure patients
• Heart transplantation continues provide the best outlook to end-
stage heart failure patients, with excellent long-term survival and
quality of life outcomes
Note: remember that MOM3 was a trial – enrolling both bridge and DT patients, to reflect the real-world.
Enrollment was approx. 60% DT

Enrollment was approx. 60% DT
MOM3 2-yr outcomes: primary composite endpoint
Overall survival at 2 years
In the first ever report of 5-yr outcomes for an LVAD trial:
Overall survival at 5 yrs: HM3 – 58.4%; a median survival for HM3 that easily exceeds 5 years.
The improved survival for HM3 was shown to be due to a significant reduction in hemocompatibility-related mortality, resulting from reduced thrombosis, stroke, and bleeding events.
Heart failure was the leading cause of death in HM3, followed by infection. The risk of death due to these causes were similar between treatment groups.
