摘要
Hyperbilirubinemia, a common complication associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, is evidence of liver dysfunction and is often a life-threatening problem after the implantation procedure. In this study we evaluated the relationship between hemodynamics after LVAD implantation and postoperative hyperbilirubinemia. Twenty-four patients who received LVADs at Osaka University Hospital between January 1994 and June 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped according to the implanted LVAD: Group A (n = 4) Novacor, group B (n = 7) HeartMate 1000IP, group C (n = 13) Toyobo pneumatic pulsatile pump. Hemodynamic data and laboratory data, including total bilirubin on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, 7, and 14, were collected and statistically analyzed. In group C, the cardiac index (CI) on POD 1 was significantly lower (P < 0.01) than that for groups A and B. On PODs 3 and 7, total bilirubin levels in group C increased significantly over the preoperative value (P < 0.05) and were significantly higher than those in group A on POD 3 and higher than those in groups A and B on POD 7 (P < 0.05). Regression analysis of CI on POD 1 correlated significantly with total bilirubin on POD 7, as expressed by the formula y = 5.13/(x - 1.7)0.719, where x is CI and y is total bilirubin (r 2 = 0.327, P < 0.05). Total bilirubin after LVAD implantation correlates with postoperative CI values. We suggest that it is essential to maintain the CI at the highest levels possible to avoid postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in LVAD patients. © The Japanese Society for Artificial Organs 2005.
