    Abstract Temporary mechanical circulatory support device has been highly advocated for severe cardiogenic shock patient. However, standard ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation is invasive procedure for these sick patients. Less-invasive cardiac procedures are known to be generally associated with many beneficial effects such as reduction of trauma, blood loss and risk of infection, and relatively short intensive care unit stay. Here we describe an alternative technique for less invasive extracorporeal VAD implantation.

    Abstract Fulminant myocarditis is a fatal development from profound biventricular heart failure and often requires both right- and left-ventricular assistance to maintain hemodynamics, even at the risk of increased mortality and morbidity. Here, we present a 42-year-old female with profound biventricular failure due to fulminant myocarditis, resolved by an isolated durable left-ventricular assist device support under a fenestrated, Fontan-like circulation and managed low-pulmonary vascular resistance.

    Abstract Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS), characterized by reduced von Willebrand factor (VWF) large multimers, has recently been implicated as the principal mechanism underlying bleeding in patients implanted with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Hematological severity of AVWS varies among patients, even if an identical device is implanted. We investigated whether this diversity in hematological severity is due to individual variability in VWF fragility, according to responses to incremental shear stress. Whole-blood samples were sheared at 20,000-40,000 s -1 shear rate, an index of shear stress, using a custom-made shear stressor that could generate shear stress compatible with that produced by an LVAD. The degree of VWF large multimers degradation was evaluated using the VWF large multimer index. A significant inverse correlation was observed between the VWF large multimer index and LVAD-compatible magnitudes of shear stress: the VWF large multimer indices were 68.5 ± 18.3, 48.0 ± 13.9, 33.9 ± 12.1, 23.7 ± 7.9, and 18.7% ± 8.7% at 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 35,000, and 40,000 s -1 of shear rates, respectively ( P < 0.0001). Furthermore, experimental VWF large multimer index values were compatible with those derived from patients with implanted LVADs (median; 28.9%). Finally, reduction in the VWF large multimer index corresponding to shear stress showed individual variation. We demonstrated that the combined use of a novel high shear stress loading device and quantitative evaluation of VWF large multimers may predict risk of bleeding before LVAD implantation.

    Abstract Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) improve quality of life (QOL) in many patients with end-stage severe heart failure, but not in some patients. In addition, the burden on caregivers is expected to increase after LVAD patients are discharged. Our study aimed to investigate the impact of LVAD on the QOL of patients and caregivers. Thirty-two LVAD patients were assessed for changes in QOL, mental status, and activity level using the Euro QOL (EQ-5D-5L), Short Form 12 (SF-12), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Frenchay Activities Index. Twenty-four caregivers were assessed for changes in QOL, mental status, and burden of care using the EQ-5D-5L, SF-12, HADS, and Burden Index of Caregiver (BIC-11). The LVAD patients and caregivers responded contemporaneously regarding two points: pre-and post-LVAD. Patients' physical and mental QOL was significantly improved, but not social QOL and activity level. Caregivers' QOL and burden of care did not change, and anxiety was reduced (p = 0.028). The patients were divided into two groups based on whether EQ-5D-5L was improved: twelve patients in the unimproved group (UG) and twenty patients in the improved group (IG). In the UG, 50% had LVAD-related strokes (p = 0.001, IG: 0%), and their social QOL decreased (p = 0.023). The activity levels improved in the IG. Multi-dimensional analyses on the QOL in LVAD patients yielded mixed results. Anticipated benefits derived from LVAD therapy may be limited by LVAD-related complications such as stroke that negatively impacts on the QOL.

    Abstract Background: Spinal cord ischemic injury is a severe complication of aortic surgery. We hypothesized that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) oxygenation with nanobubbles after reperfusion could ameliorate spinal cord ischemic injury.
    Methods: Twenty white Japanese rabbits were categorized into 4 groups of 5 rabbits each: sham group, with balloon catheter insertion into the aorta; ischemia group, with spinal cord ischemic injury by abdominal aortic occlusion; nonoxygenated group, with nonoxygenated artificial CSF irrigation after spinal cord ischemic injury; and oxygenated group, with oxygenated artificial CSF irrigation after spinal cord ischemic injury. At 48 hours after spinal cord ischemic injury, the modified Tarlov score to reflect hind limb movement was evaluated. The spinal cord was histopathologically examined by counting anterior horn cells, and microarray and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses were performed.
    Results: The oxygenated group showed improved neurologic function compared with the ischemia and nonoxygenated groups (
    Conclusions: CSF oxygenation with nanobubbles after reperfusion can ameliorate spinal cord ischemic injury and suppress inflammatory responses in the spinal cord.

    Abstract Background: Baloxavir marboxil (BM) is a novel drug with a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitory action for influenza A or B; it is highly safe and requires just a single oral dose. Patients with severe heart failure use implantable ventricular assist device (iVAD) until transplantation, but they have an increased risk of thrombosis development. Their warfarin is administered based on point-of-care testing (POCT) with a strict control of prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR).
    Case report: Here, we report a case of a patient with iVAD whose PT-INR was significantly increased from the target range after BM administration. The patient was a 45-year-old man and transplanted with iVAD; warfarin treatment was started when his PT-INR target range was 3.0-3.5. At home, he frequently self-measured PT-INR by POCT and precisely controlled the warfarin dose. He had a fever, was diagnosed with influenza A and was administered BM 40 mg. Thereafter, his PT-INR continued to increase, reaching 4.8 on day 12 of BM administration, exceeding his target range; warfarin was skipped for 1 day. In this case, based on the history of BM administration and clinical course, the increase in PT-INR could be due to BM. Considering the interaction between warfarin and BM, we suspected a possibility of competition for protein-binding sites. Increased PT-INR in the patient was detected early by POCT and thus severe bleeding was avoided.
    Conclusion: Strict monitoring of PT-INR when using BM in patients taking warfarin is of clinical importance.

    Abstract De novo aortic insufficiency is often documented during long-term left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support, despite the absence of aortic insufficiency at the time of LVAD implantation. However, whether aortic insufficiency affects long-term mortality and symptomatic heart failure in LVAD-supported patients remains controversial. We aimed to examine whether aortic insufficiency development influenced mortality and symptomatic heart failure following LVAD implantation. Fifty-three patients who underwent durable LVAD implantation between January 1, 2008 and April 31, 2017 were retrospectively examined in a single center institute. After discharge, we performed the echocardiographic examination in accordance with the Japanese registry for the mechanically assisted circulatory support protocol. Aortic insufficiency was graded on an interval scale (severe = 4, moderate = 3, mild = 2, trivial or none = 1). Kaplan-Meier estimates for long-term mortality at the follow-up were generated. We used a logistic regression model to identify risk factors for symptomatic heart failure. The overall median duration of LVAD support was 856.3 ± 430.8 days (range, 12-1,744 days). We did not observe a significant difference in long-term mortality in patients with aortic insufficiency ≥ 3 grade compared with patients with aortic insufficiency < 3 grade (P = 0.767; log-rank). Aortic insufficiency was associated with an increased risk for heart failure event after discharge (odds ratio, 4.12; confidence interval, 1.48-16.93; P = 0.005). Aortic insufficiency was an independent risk factor for symptomatic heart failure and was not associated with long-term mortality. Aortic insufficiency progression was associated with symptomatic heart failure.

    Abstract We evaluated the blood pressure( BP) lowering effect and possible suppression of aortic enlargement by olmesartan (OLM) in patients with thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. In this single center prospective, forced titration study, 50 patients were registered between 2008 and 2011. After all patients received any of OLM 10, 20, and 40 mg/day as an initial dose, the dosage of OLM was titrated up to 40 mg as needed during follow-up period. Home BP (HBPs), aortic aneurysm size assessed by computed tomography (CT) scan, indices of renal function were recorded at 3- and 6-months follow-up. Depending on whether 40 mg/day of prescription was continued for more than 4 months or not, the patients were divided into 2 groups:less than 40 mg (<40 mg) and 40 mg groups. Morning HBPs tended to decrease in both groups, and the percent changes in BPs were essentially the same regardless of dosage. The absolute value of aortic diameter tended to slightly enlarge only in <40 mg group. Also in the <40 mg group, the absolute differences in aortic diameter between those at the time of study registration and each follow-up were 0.5±1.8 mm at 3-month and 1.2±2.3 mm at 6-month (p=0.047),whereas the percent changes were 0.9±3.3% and 2.2±4.5% at 3 and 6 months, respectively( p=0.058). As for 40 mg group, the absolute differences and percent changes did not reach statistically significant increase during the follow-up period. No severe renal dysfunction related to OLM 40 mg prescription was observed. Our results imply that OLM 40 mg may suppress aortic aneurysmal dilation independently of blood pressure lowering effect. Further study with larger number of sample size is warranted to assure this observation.

    Abstract Purpose: Selective cerebral perfusion with the open proximal technique for thoracoabdominal aortic repair has not been conclusively validated because of its procedural complexity and unreliability. We report the clinical outcomes, particularly the cerebroneurological complications, of an open proximal procedure using selective cerebral perfusion.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review identified 30 patients between 2007 and 2015 who underwent aortic repair through left lateral thoracotomy with selective cerebral perfusion, established through endoluminal brachiocephalic and left carotid artery and retrograde left axillary artery.
    Results: The mean durations of the open proximal procedure and cerebral ischemia (the duration of the open proximal procedure minus the duration of selective cerebral perfusion) were 110.3 ± 40.1 min and 24.8 ± 13.0 min, respectively. There were two cases (7%) of permanent neurologic dysfunction (PND) but no in-hospital deaths. Multivariate analysis identified the duration of cerebral ischemia as an independent risk factor for neurologic complications including temporary neurologic dysfunction (TND; odds ratio (OR): 1.13; p = 0.007), but no correlation was found between selective cerebral perfusion duration and neurologic complications.
    Conclusion: Despite the relatively long duration of the open proximal procedure, selective cerebral perfusion has a potential to protect against cerebral complications during thoracic aortic repair through a left lateral thoracotomy.

    Abstract Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has become an established treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. During LVAD implantation, some patients require concomitant surgeries, including tricuspid valve repair, aortic valve repair or replacement, and patent foramen ovale closure. However, concomitant aortic surgeries are rare in patients requiring LVAD implantation. We successfully performed total arch replacement with an open distal technique, aortic valve closure, and continuous flow LVAD implantation simultaneously.
