HeartMate II was the LVAD used as a control in this pivotal trial. (Funded by Abbott; MOMENTUM 3 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02224755.) The axialflow pump, which has the most implants and longest follow-up period for any LVAD in use today, performed well, with the following key data points at 2 years:
Teuteberg JJ, Cleveland JC, Cowger J, et al.
Real-world outcomes for HeartMate II LVAD were observed in the 2019 STS Intermacs annual report (Ann Thorac Surg 2020;109:649- 60), and were consistent with data observed in clinical trials at 2 years:
Starling RC, Estep JD, Horstmanshof DA, et al.
Survival on original therapy with improvement in 6-min walk distance was superior with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) compared with optimal medical management (OMM) at 2 years. Reduction in key adverse events beyond 1 year was observed in the LVAD group. The ROADMAP trial provides risk-benefit information to guide patient- and physician-shared decision making for elective LVAD therapy as a treatment for heart failure. (Risk Assessment and Comparative Effectiveness of Left Ventricular Assist Device and Medical Management in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients [ROADMAP]; NCT01452802). (J Am Coll Cardiol HF 2017;)
