Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) explant heart transplantation represents a metabolically vulnerable population with an increased risk for renal failure and mortality. Oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER), which integrates oxygen delivery and tissue oxygen demand, may provide a physiologic marker of cumulative metabolic...

PURPOSE
Veno-arterial extracorporeal oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides comprehensive cardiopulmonary support in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS), but may result in complications. While complications rates are known, their impact on risk of death remains largely unknown.
METHODS
Using the Extracorporeal Life Support...

Right ventricle (RV) evaluation in the perioperative period is challenging for anesthesiologists, given the limited objective assessment methods available for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Speckle-tracking strain imaging may offer a more objective evaluation of RV function. This study evaluated the predic...

These findings suggest LVAD explant identifies a higher-risk transplant phenotype shaped by surgical burden, device-associated physiologic effects, and allocation-era transplant timing, rather than by intrinsic device-related risk alone.
