Long-term follow-up evaluation of readmissions after ventricular assist device implantation: trends and outcomes

Puntos clave

Readmission rates remain high following ventricular assist device implantation, indicating ongoing patient management needs.
Right ventricular dysfunction is a primary factor influencing readmission risk, with emphasis on timely intervention.
Observational analysis of readmissions post-implantation highlights the significance of preventive strategies.
These findings underscore the need for continuous monitoring and management to lower ongoing readmission rates.

Resumen

Although LVAD implantation substantially improves survival in advanced heart failure, hospital readmissions remain common throughout long-term follow-up. Right ventricular dysfunction represents a key determinant of readmission risk, highlighting the importance of optimized perioperative management and vigilant monitoring for right-sided failure. Preventive strategies aimed at early detection of RV dysfunction and driveline complications may further reduce rehospitalizations and improve patient outcomes.
