3 Circulatory Mechanical Support Circulatory Support An Harnessing Era of Disruptive Disruptive Innovation Innovation John Gibbon develops and first employs a Pump Oxygenator to perform open heart surgery May,1953

4 Dr. Christian Barnard World s First Human Heart Transplant Dec. 3,1967

5 Drs. Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley and first artificial heart developed by Dr. Domingo Liotta used as a bridge to transplantation 1969

9 INTERMACS Implantation of an MCSS is not a simple, time-limited treatment episode. Because of the patient s total dependence on the device and because problems can occur at any time, clinical trial subjects should be followed closely during the trials: they and other MCSS patients should be followed, through a registry, for the remainder of their lives...maintaining a registry of MCSS recipients should be considered a routine aspect of this care The committee recommends that NHLBI support long term follow up studies of an adequate sample of MCSS patients.

11 INTERMACS: A Study in Collaboration What is INTERMACS? INTERMACS is a United States national registry for patients who are receiving durable mechanical circulatory support device therapy to treat advanced heart failure. This registry was devised as a joint effort of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinicians, scientists and industry representatives.

20 Goals of the Registry Facilitate the refinement of patient selection to maximize outcomes with current and new device options. Identify predictors of good outcomes as well as risk factors for adverse events after device implantation. Develop consensus best practice guidelines to improve clinical management by reducing short and long term complications of MCSD therapy. Utilize Registry information to guide improvements in technology, particularly as next generation devices evolve. Guide clinical testing and approval of new devices.
