HeartMate 3 for Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: In Vitro Hemodynamic Evaluation and Anatomical Fitting.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) constitutes approximately 50% of heart failure (HF) cases, and encompasses different phenotypes. Among these, most patients with HFpEF exhibit structural heart changes, often with smaller left ventricular cavities, which pose challenges for utilizing ventricular assist devices (VADs). A left atrial to aortic (LA-Ao) VAD configuration could address these challenges, potentially enhancing patient quality of life by lowering elevated mean left atrial pressure (MLAP). This study assessed the anatomical compatibility and left atrial unloading capacity using a simulated VAD-supported HFpEF patient. A HeartMate3-supported HFpEF patient in an LA-Ao configuration was simulated using a cardiovascular simulator. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded during rest and exercise at seven pump flow rates. Computed tomography scans of 14 HFpEF (NYHA II-III) and six heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients were analysed for anatomical comparisons. HFpEF models were independently assessed for virtual anatomical fit with the HM3 in the LA-Ao configuration. Baseline MLAP was reduced from 15 to 11 mmHg with the addition of 1 L/min HM3 support in the rest condition. In an exercise simulation, 6 L/min of HM3 support was required to reduce the MLAP from 29 to 16 mmHg. The HM3 successfully accommodated six HFpEF patients without causing interference with other cardiac structures, whereas it caused impingement ranging from 4 to 14 mm in the remaining patients. This study demonstrated that the HM3 in an LA-Ao configuration may be suitable for unloading the left atrium and relieving pulmonary congestion in some HFpEF patients where size-related limitations can be addressed through pre-surgical anatomical fit analysis.
