Patients implanted with HVAD System Patients intended to be implanted with a HVAD for use as destination therapy are eligible for enrollment into the DT PAS and must be consented for the study prior to the HVAD implant.
  • Device: HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device
    The HVAD is an implantable centrifugal rotary blood pump that is implanted in the pericardial space and is designed to provide up to 10 L/min of blood flow from the left ventricular to the aorta. The HVAD System is comprised of three major components: the HVAD (pump) with inflow and outflow conduits, a Controller (microprocessor unit that controls the operation of the HVAD), and power sources (AC and DC power adapters that provide power to the Controller and implanted HVAD).

Detailed Description

The HeartWare Destination Therapy (DT) Post Approval Study (PAS) is a prospective, observational, multi-site study. Enrollment into the DT PAS will be comprised of newly enrolled, commercial use DT patients with the HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device System (HVAD System). Patients enrolled in DT PAS will be followed for 5 years post-implant or until study closure, patient death, patient exit from the PAS (i.e., withdrawal of consent), or patient has HVAD device removed without replacement (i.e., transplant, recovery) or device is exchanged for non-HVAD. The total estimated study duration is approximately 7 years.
