Outcomes of MagLev LVAD Support in Patients Requiring Preoperative Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) has historically been a contraindication for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. However, advancements in magnetically levitated (MagLev) LVADs warrant reevaluation. Methods: A retrospective review of adult LVAD recipients at a tertiary center (2009-2024) was performed. Patients were stratified by preoperative CRRT status and LVAD type. Baseline characteristics and perioperative morbidity, Kaplan-Meier survival estimates, restrictive mean survival time (RMST), and Cox proportional hazards models were assessed. Results: Among 312 MagLev LVAD recipients, 22 (7.1%) required preoperative CRRT. Compared to non-CRRT patients, the CRRT group had higher illnes
