Patients With LVADs Need A New Anticoagulant. A new analysis of anticoagulant regimens from a study in cardiovascular devices patients was presented at the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation Annual Meeting. The presentation included data from the ARIES-HM3 study testing anticoagulation with warfarin and aspirin against warfarin alone.

Abbott Has An Interest In LVAD Patient Outcomes. The ARIES-HM3 study was sponsored by Abbott (ABT, Not Rated), maker of the HeartMate3 LVAD. Patients with these devices cannot take DOAC anticoagulant drugs, leaving them with only warfarin. The study tested warfarin (a vitamin K antagonist, VKA) with and without aspirin. The findings showed lower time in the therapeutic range (TTR) is a predictor of excessive bleeding events, and warfarin patients are typically below target values.
