A systematic review and physiology of pulmonary artery pulsatility index in left ventricular assist device therapy.
Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery(2023)
摘要
OBJECTIVES:Right heart failure (RHF) is a major complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) has been evaluated as a haemodynamic marker for RHF, but PAPi is dependent on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). We conducted a systematic review to assess the relationship between PAPi and RHF and death in patients undergoing LVAD implantation and examined the relationship between PAPi cut-off and PVR.
METHODS:We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL and manually screened retrieved references to identify all clinical studies reporting PAPi in adult patients with a durable LVAD. Eligibility criteria were prespecified and 2 reviewers independently screened and extracted data; the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess quality of non-randomized studies. This study was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021259009).
RESULTS:From 283 unique records, we identified 16 studies reporting haemodynamic assessment in 20 634 adult patients with an implanted durable LVAD. Only 2 studies reported on mortality and in both, a lower PAPi was significantly associated with death. Fifteen studies reported RHF data and, in 10 studies, a lower PAPi was significantly associated with RHF. Six studies reported on PAPi cut-offs ranging from 0.88 to 3.3; and the cut-offs were directly related to PVR (r = 0.6613, P = 0.019).
CONCLUSIONS:Lower PAPi was associated with RHF and death following LVAD implantation, but a single PAPi cut-off cannot be defined, as it is dependent on PVR.
