However, outcomes have not been well studied in patients who receive short\u2010term MCS before receiving long\u2010term left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. We analyzed outcomes in our single\u2010center experience with long\u2010term continuous\u2010flow (CF)\u2010LVAD recipients with pre\u2010implantation short\u2010term MCS. From November 2003 through March 2016, 526 patients (mean age, 54.7\u2009\u00b1\u200913.5 years) with chronic heart failure (mean ejection fraction, 21.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.6%) underwent implantation of either the HeartMate II (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009403) or the HeartWare device (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009123). Before implantation, 269 patients received short\u2010term MCS with the TandemHeart, the Impella 2.5\/5.0, an intra\u2010aortic balloon pump (IABP), venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA\u2010ECMO), or the CentriMag. The short\u2010term MCS patients were compared with the CF\u2010LVAD\u2013only patients regarding preoperative demographics, incidence of postoperative complications, and long\u2010term survival. The 269 patients received the following short\u2010term MCS devices: 57 TandemHeart, 27 Impella, 172 IABP, 12 VA\u2010ECMO, and 1 CentriMag. Survival at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years was 94.2, 87.2, 79.4, and 72.4%, respectively, for CF\u2010LVAD\u2013only patients versus 91.0, 78.1, 73.4, and 65.6%, respectively, for short\u2010term MCS\u2009+\u2009CF\u2010LVAD patients (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.17). Within the short\u2010term MCS group, survival at 24 months was poorest for patients supported with VA\u2010ECMO or the TandemHeart (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03 for both), and survival across all four time points was poorest for patients supported with VA\u2010ECMO (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02). Short\u2010term MCS was not an independent predictor of mortality in multivariate Cox regression models (hazard ratio\u2009=\u20091.12, 95% confidence interval\u2009=\u20090.84\u20131.49, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.43). In conclusion, we found that using short\u2010term MCS therapy\u2014except for VA\u2010ECMO\u2014as a bridge to long\u2010term CF\u2010LVAD support was not associated with poorer survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aor.13112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,23]],"date-time":"2018-02-23T09:52:36Z","timestamp":1519379556000},"page":"589-596","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Bridging to a Long\u2010Term Ventricular Assist Device With Short\u2010Term Mechanical Circulatory Support"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3536-4675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chitaru","family":"Kurihara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital and Institute of Gerontology Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3580-5664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masashi","family":"Kawabori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tadahisa","family":"Sugiura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andre C.","family":"Critsinelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William E.","family":"Cohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew B.","family":"Civitello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiothoracic Transplant and Assist Devices Baylor College of Medicine Houston TX USA"},{"name":"Department of Cardiopulmonary Transplantation and the Center for Cardiac Support Texas Heart Institute Houston TX USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.
