Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is paucity of data regarding durable LVAD outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3-5 and CKD stage 5 on dialysis (ESRD: end stage renal disease).

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries with ESRD and 5% sample of CKD with LVAD (2006 to 2018) to determine one-year outcomes utilizing the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) database. The LVAD implantation, comorbidities and outcomes were identified using appropriate ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes.

RESULTS: We identified 496 CKD and 95 ESRD patients who underwent LVAD implantation. The ESRD patients were younger (59 vs 66 years; p

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ESRD undergoing LVAD implantation had significantly higher index and 1-year mortality compared to CKD patients.
