Screening for Outflow Cannula Malfunction of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) With the Use of Doppler Echocardiography: New LVAD-Specific Reference Values for Contemporary Devices
A peak velocity of the LVAD outflow cannula of >2 m/s poorly predicts malfunction.
•
The HMII and HVAD have unique normal operating velocities in their outflow cannulas.
•
Peak velocities of 2.7 m/s (HMII) and 3.4 m/s (HVAD) have improved specificity for detecting malfunction.
