PREVENtion of HeartMate II Pump Thrombosis (PREVENT)

March 24, 2022 updated by: Abbott Medical Devices

PREVENtion of HeartMate II Pump Thrombosis Through Clinical Management

The purpose of this study is to assess how often blood clots form in the FDA-approved HeartMate® II (HM II) Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and to identify risks related to clotting within the pump.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PREVENT is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study that is designed (1) to assess the incidence of HM II pump thrombosis in the current era when recommended practices for clinical management are adopted, and (2) to identify the risk factors associated with pump thrombosis events. The recommended practices are focused on implantation technique, anticoagulation regimen, pump speed and blood pressure management. All consecutive patients receiving a HM II implant will be considered for this study.
