Prevention of Hemorrhage After Implantation of Mechanical Circulatory Support

Summary

Main objective of the study is to demonstrate that a prophylactic treatment with VWF factor concentrate after implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) reduces the frequency of clinically significant bleeding within 3 months after implantation in comparison to the usual care. Adult patients with functional defects of VWF measured after implantation of continuous LVAD are randomly assigned to prophylactic treatment.
