Trends, perioperative adverse events, and survival of patients with left ventricular assist devices undergoing noncardiac surgery.
This longitudinal cohort study examined outcomes of noncardiac surgery (NCS) in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). This study examined patients enrolled in Medicare who had undergone durable LVAD implantation from January 2012 to November 2017 with follow-up through December 2017. Primary outcome after NCS was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as in-hospital or 30-day all-cause mortality, ischemic stroke, or intracerebral hemorrhage. Of the 8118 patients with LVAD, 1326 underwent NCS with 75.4% emergent or urgent, and 24.6% elective. Both elective and urgent or emergent NCS was associated with higher mortality early and late compared with patients with LVAD who did not undergo NCS.
