COVID-19 in patients with left ventricular assist device
Background. Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Patients with cardiovascular disease especially patients with advanced heart failure are at particularly high risk of morbidity and mortality. Patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) represent a unique population at risk because of comorbidities and functionally compromised immunity. Аim of this article was to analyze clinical cases of COVID-19 among LVAD patients of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Material and methods. Characteristics of LVAD patients of the Republic of Kazakhstan who developed COVID-19 between March 2020 and August 2021, initial manifestations of the disease, comorbidities, complications and clinical outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results. A total of 177 patients with LVAD who were supported and registered by the NAO “National Scientific Cardiac Surgery Center” were interviewed. 41 (23.2%) patients had classic COVID-19 symptoms. The mean age of the patients was 55 years (interquartile range, 17-75), and 9 (21.9%) patients were female. The majority of patients (n=36, 87.8%) were implanted with LVAD HeartMate 3. The largest number, 19 (46%) patients, were patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The time of LVAD support ranged from 1 month to 83 months before the onset of symptoms and diagnosis of COVID-19. 13 (31.7%) patients required hospitalization due to decreased oxygen saturation (less than 94%) and oxygen deprivation. 3 patients (1.7% among 177 supported patients and 7.3% among patients with COVID-19) required care and treatment in an intensive care unit. Conclusion. We presented an analysis of clinical cases in LVAD patients with COVID-19 in Kazakhstan. To note, there are no guidelines for management and treatment, no data related to the clinical course of COVID-19 in patients on LVAD support to date. Close monitoring of clinical status, anticoagulation and frequent collection of device parameters and DL exit site images, precautionary measures consideration, early diagnosis, timely initiated treatment, supportive psychological care, multidisciplinary approach and rigorous follow-up are crucial in the management of LVAD patients with COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
Journal “Clinical and Experimental Surgery. Petrovsky journal” – a broad-based journal on surgery established to merge all the surgical specialties into the integrated intellectual space provided with up to date systems of communication and information. Following this aim the on-line support of the journal involves extended version and multimedia materials. As soon as the modern surgery has exceeded the scopes of the application-oriented science, the editorial board will encourage the researches of academic importance and facilitate creation of the fresh lines of research as well as the translation of the research results into the practical surgery. Broad-based profile of the journal and multidisciplinary approach to the arrangement of the research materials are to create a start point for the discussions activating the development of the innovative, joint cross-sectoral and international projects. Thematic scope of the journal: Cardiac and vascular surgery Thoracic surgery Abdominal surgery Transplantation and artificial organs Endoscopic surgery Reconstructive and microvascular surgery Physiology, physiopathology, diagnostics Fundamental research and interdisciplinary technologies Education Bioethics History of surgery.
