Stroke-related Deaths
Per CEC adjudication, among the full AIP population 12.5% (37/296) of HVAD patients and
6.7% (10/149) of Control patients had stroke-related deaths (data lock date of May 30, 2017, all
of death from stroke that was 87% greater than the risk of Control patients. The rate of stroke-
related death within 2 years of implantation was 8.4% (25/296) for HVAD patients and 6.0%
(9/149) for Control patients. The rate of later-onset stroke-related death (i.e., stroke occurring
after 2 years of LVAD support) was 3.7% (11/296) for HVAD patients and 0.7% (1/149) for Control
patients. The majority of HVADs which were involved with stroke-related deaths had sintered inlet
cannulae.
