HeartWare(r) Ventricular Assist System Technology & Surgical Overview Martin Strueber, MD Hannover Medical School


 

EVALUATION OF THE MINIMALLY INVASIVE HEARTWARE VENTRICULAR ASSIST SYSTEM AS A LONG TERM SUPPORT DEVICE Martin Strueber, Hannover, Germany; Paul Jansz, Sydney, Australia; George Wieselthaler, Vienna, Austria; Gerry O^Driscoll, Perth, Australia; Michiel Morshuis, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany; Asghar Khaghani, Harefield, Great Britain; Stephan Schueler, Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain; Roland Hetzer, Berlin, Germany; Andreas Hoffmeier, Munster, Germany; and Daniel Duveau, Nantes, France. The following data is based on 100 patients unless otherwise noted. Data from the post CE Mark cohort is from registry data and has not been monitored or adjudicated.


 

Global Clinical Experience Overview The HeartWare Ventricular Assist System is the newest circulatory support device to be commercially launched in Europe More than 300 implants to date worldwide Initial clinical trial enrolled 50 patients in Europe and Australia - enrollment completed Dec 2008 CE Mark approval granted and commercial experience began in March 2009 European Registry includes data on 50 patients in commercial period

Long term circulatory support with the miniature HeartWare Ventricular Assist System is feasible The device performs well for greater than one year with low adverse event rates The data also demonstrate versatility of the HeartWare System to support a wide range of patients Minimally invasive implant techniques were possible Outcomes have continued to improve after initial clinical trial experience Conclusions
