概要	*ラウンドテーブルディスカッション 4 重症心不全治療における非薬物学的介入の今後への展望 Continuous‒flow LVADs have played an increasingly important role in the management of patients with end‒stage heart failure. More than 20,000 devices have been implanted worldwide. LVADs have dramatically improved patient prognosis and quality of life; both BTT and DT in US and Europe. Seventh INTERMACS annual report (includes >15,000 patients) described 2500 implants (BTT +DT) in 2014. DT accounts for nearly half of all implants. Overall survival rate at 1 and 2 years is 80% and 70%, respectively. Survival among DT patients (1 year 76%, 2 years 57%) has been worse than among BTT patients. Continuous‒flow LVADs provide marked alterations in normal physiology, high‒shear, less‒pulsed flow, leading to unanticipated adverse effects such as acquired von Willebrand disease and aortic insufficiency. Causes of deaths were 1) neurologic event, 2) multisystem organ failure, 3) withdrawal of support, 4) major infection. Freedom from major adverse events rate was 30% at 1 year. In Japan, more than 600 C‒F LVADs were implanted. The support duration has been extended to over three years due to severe donor shortage. Survival rate was excellent (90% at 2 years), and now DT clinical trial with Heartmate II has started. Evidently LVADs are powerful and effective tools for advanced heart failure management, however, major adverse events rate remains high. Various research and development are currently in progress to improve clinical outcome.
