  • A case with recovery of response to tolvaptan associated with remission of acute kidney injury and increased urine osmolality
  • 2013

    • Tolvaptan (TLV), a vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist, has been demonstrated to be effective in patients with decompensated heart failure (HF) refractory to incremental doses of diuretics, but the responsiveness has not always been predictable. We have recently proposed that urine osmolality (U-OSM) is a valuable parameter for the prediction of responses to TLV, because U-OSM reflects the activity of the collecting ducts, where TLV plays its unique role. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often associated with severe tubular dysfunction, including the collecting ducts, and in such cases a response to TLV may not be expected. We here experienced a patient with HF and AKI in whom TLV was not effective during AKI. We also observed recovery of responsiveness to TLV along with remission of AKI as well as increased U-OSM later on. We believe that this is the first report on the reversibility of the TLV response in relation to U-OSM.

  • Acute pulmonary vasoreactivity test with sildenafil or nitric monoxide before left ventricular assist device implantation
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Journal of Artificial Organs. - : Springer Verlag (Germany). - 1434-7229 .- 1619-0904. ; 16:3, s. 389-392

    • There has been no established medical therapy to ameliorate pulmonary hypertension (PH) owing to left heart disease (LHD-PH). It has recently been shown that the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can improve LHD-PH and therefore has the potential to become a major bridge tool for heart transplantation (HTx). However, some patients still have persistent PH even after LVAD treatment. It is essential to demonstrate the reversibility of end-organ dysfunction, including PH, prior to implantable LVAD treatment, especially in Japan, because implantable LVAD treatment is indicated only as bridge to transplantation. Here we report a patient with LHD-PH whose PH was demonstrated to be reversible by the acute pulmonary vasoreactivity test (APVT) with nitrogen monoxide (NO) and the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil. Both inhaled NO and sildenafil reduced pulmonary vascular resistance, but pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was increased by NO, which was conversely decreased under increased cardiac output by sildenafil. After the patient was listed as an HTx recipient, pulmonary vascular resistance recovered down to an acceptable range with LVAD treatment. Based on these findings, we suggest that the APVT with sildenafil may be a useful and safe tool to predict improvement of PH after LVAD treatment.

  • Bosentan improved persistent pulmonary hypertension in a case after implantation of a left ventricular assist device
  • 2013

    • No medical treatment has been established to ameliorate pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to left heart disease. Heart transplantation (HTx) is thus far the definitive therapy for stage D heart failure, but concomitant PH is one of the major risk factors for death after HTx. Recently, implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been reported to improve PH and has become a major bridge tool for HTx. We experienced a rare case with persistent PH even after the implantation of a continuous-flow LVAD. The administration of an endothelin receptor antagonist, bosentan, significantly decreased pulmonary vascular resistance. Combination therapy with LVAD implantation and anti-PH medication may be useful for patients with stage D heart failure complicated with severe PH.

  • Correction of hyponatremia by tolvaptan before left ventricular assist device implantation
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: International Heart Journal. - : International Heart Journal Association. - 1349-2365 .- 1349-3299. ; 53:6, s. 391-393

    • Hypervolemic hyponatremia is often complicated with advanced heart failure together with increased excretion of sodium by diuretics. Tolvaptan, an oral vasopressin-2-receptor antagonist, has been previously reported to improve congestion and correct hyponatremia through increased excretion of free water. However, there is little evidence concerning the administration of tolvaptan in patients with stage D heart failure. We experienced 2 patients with stage D heart failure who received 3.75 mg/day of tolvaptan to correct hyponatremia before ventricular assist device implantation. It may be useful, even for patients with stage D heart failure, to administer a low dose of tolvaptan to treat hyponatremia before ventricular assist device implantation to avoid a drastic alteration in serum sodium concentration perioperatively.

  • Everolimus-incorporated immunosuppressant strategy improves renal dysfunction while maintaining low rejection rates after heart transplantation in Japanese patients
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: International Heart Journal. - : International Heart Journal Association. - 1349-2365 .- 1349-3299. ; 54:4, s. 222-227

    • The long-term survival of heart transplantation (HTx) recipients has increased significantly in recent years, however, the nephrotoxic adverse effects of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are still a major concern. Recently, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin, everolimus (EVL), has emerged as an alternative immunosuppressant drug that may allow CM dosage reduction and thereby spare renal function. Data were collected from 20 HTx recipients who had received EVL (target trough level 3-8 ng/mL) along with a dose reduction of CNIs and/or mycophenolate mophetil (MMF) and had been followed for 1 year. Estimated glomerular filtration rate increased significantly with a reduction in the CM dosage in a dose-dependent manner (P less than 0.001, r = -0.807). Neutrophil count increased significantly (P less than 0.05) with a reduction in the dosage of MMF (P = 0.009, r = -0.671). Cytomegalovirus antigenemia remained negative after EVL administration among all candidates without any antiviral agents (P = 0.001). There were no significant increases in the acute rejection rates among recipients with EVL compared to those without EVL (P = 0.132). An immunosuppressant strategy incorporating EVL could reduce the CM and MMF dosages, which resulted in improvements in renal dysfunction and neutropenia while maintaining low rejection rates among HTx recipients.

  • How to demonstrate the reversibility of end-organ function before implantation of left ventricular assist device in INTERMACS profile 2 patients?
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Journal of Artificial Organs. - : Springer. - 1434-7229 .- 1619-0904. ; 15:4, s. 395-398

    • For the time being, in Japan, two recently approved implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs) are indicated only when a patient has been listed for heart transplantation or approved to be eligible for heart transplantation by in-hospital committee. The reversibility of end-organ dysfunction must be expected before VAD implantation, but it is often hard to prove during worsening clinical status. We report two patients whose end-organ dysfunction had been eventually demonstrated to be reversible by invasive procedures such as transluminal liver biopsy or transient insertion of intra-aortic balloon pumping.

  • Late-onset right ventricular failure in patients with preoperative small left ventricle after implantation of continuous flow left ventricular assist device
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Circulation Journal. - : Japanese Circulation Society. - 1346-9843 .- 1347-4820. ; 78:3, s. 625-633

    • Background: The continuous flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has replaced the pulsatile flow (PF) LVAD because of its advantages of better patient survival and higher quality of life. However, "late-onset right ventricular failure (RVF)" after CF LVAD implantation has emerged as an increasing concern, but little is known about the mechanism. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed the 3-month hemodynamic and echocardiographic data from 38 consecutive patients who had received CF LVADs, and from 22 patients who had received PF LVADs. Late-onset RVF was defined as persistent right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI) less than4.0 g/m(2) at any rotation speed and after saline infusion test at 5 weeks after implantation of CF LVAD. Patients with late-onset RVF had significantly impaired exercise tolerance indicated by shorter 6-min walking distance and lower peak (V) over dot O-2, and worsened tricuspid regurgitation, together with enlargement of the RV under CF LVAD treatment (all Pless than0.05). Univariable analyses demonstrated that preoperative smaller LV diastolic diameter (LVDd) was the risk factor for late-onset RVF with a cutoff value of 64 mm calculated by ROC analysis (area under curve, 0.925). In contrast, there was no correlation between preoperative LVDd and postoperative RVSWI in the PF LVAD group, though their preoperative background was worse than that of the CF group. Conclusions: In the setting of preoperative small LVDd, CF LVAD may cause late-onset RVF by leftward shift of the interventricular septum.

  • Novel criteria of urine osmolality effectively predict response to tolvaptan in decompensated heart failure patients--association between non-responders and chronic kidney disease
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Circulation Journal. - : Japanese Circulation Society. - 1346-9843 .- 1347-4820. ; 77:2, s. 397-404
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND:A newly-developed vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist, tolvaptan (TLV), has a unique feature of diuresis, but the response to this drug can be unpredictable.METHODS AND RESULTS:Data were collected from hospitalized patients with decompensated congestive heart failure who were administered TLV at 3.75-15 mg/day (n=61). A responder/non-responder to TLV was determined as having any increase/decrease in urine volume (UV) during the next 24h after TLV treatment on the first day. Logistic regression analyses for increases in UV were performed, and independent predictors of the responder were the following: C1, baseline urine osmolality (U-OSM) >352 mOsm/L; and C2, %decrease in U-OSM >26% at 4-6h after TLV administration. Criteria consisting of C1 and C2 had a good predictability for responders by receiver-operating characteristic analysis (area under the curve=0.960). Kidneys of the non-responders no longer had diluting ability (%decrease of U-OSM at 4-6h=2.7 ± 14.6%*), but also barely kept concentrating ability (baseline U-OSM=296.4 ± 68.7*mOsm/L) with markedly reduced estimated glomerular filtration ratio (35.5 ± 29.4 m l · min(-1) · 1.73 m(-2)*) (*P<0.05 vs. patients who had at least 1 positive condition [n=42]).CONCLUSIONS:More than 26% decrease in U-OSM from a baseline >352 mOsm/L for the first 4-6h predicts responders to TLV. Unresponsiveness to TLV is attributable to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus complicated by chronic renal disease.

  • Novel risk scoring system with preoperative objective parameters gives a good prediction of 1-year mortality in patients with a left ventricular assist device.
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Circulation Journal. - : Japanese Circulation Society. - 1346-9843 .- 1347-4820. ; 76:8, s. 1895-1903
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND:As we have previously reported, the preoperative profile defined by INTERMACS is a good predictor for the prognosis after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, but is largely dependent on the physician's decision. Several other risk stratification systems including objective parameters (eg, Leitz-Miller, Columbia, Seattle Heart Failure Model, APACHE II) have been proposed to estimate patient's mortality after LVAD implantation.METHODS AND RESULTS:According to the preoperative data from 59 patients who received LVAD (10 implantable, 49 extracorporeal) since 2002 through 2010, we performed a logistic analysis and constructed a new scoring system (ie, the TODAI VAD score (TVAD score), assigning 8 points to serum albumin <3.2mg/dl (odds ratio [OR] 8.475), 7 points to serum total bilirubin >4.8mg/dl (OR 7.300), 6 points to left ventricular end-diastolic diameter <55mm (OR 5.917), 5 points to central venous pressure >11mmHg (OR 5.128)). The receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve of our new scoring system (0.864) was significantly larger than any of the abovementioned 5 scoring methods (all P<0.05). With the TVAD score, low (0-8 points), intermediate (9-17 points), and high (18-26 points) risk strata had significantly different 1-year survival rates of 95%, 54%, and 14%, respectively (all P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS:The TVAD score can predict the prognosis after LVAD implantation much better than the previously known methods.

  • Preoperative Levels of Bilirubin or Creatinine Adjusted by Age Can Predict Their Reversibility After Implantation of Left Ventricular Assist Device
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Circulation Journal. - : Japanese Circulation Society. - 1346-9843 .- 1347-4820. ; 77:1, s. 96-104
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: It is often difficult to predict reversibility of liver or renal function after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation in patients with stage D heart failure. Methods and Results: Data were obtained for 69 patients who had received a LVAD (18 continuous-flow, 51 pulsatile). Persistent hepatic or renal dysfunction was defined as levels of total bilirubin (TB) or creatinine (Cre) greater than1.5 mg/dl at 6 months after LVAD implantation. TB score or Cre score was calculated: 0.15 x age+ 1.1x (preoperative TB) or 0.2 x age + 3.6 x (preoperative Cre), in which coefficients were determined on the basis of odds ratios for persistent hepatic or renal dysfunction, respectively. Receiver-operating characteristics analyses showed good predictabilities for persistent end-organ dysfunction (area under curve: 0.794 for TB score and 0.839 for Cre score). High-risk strata of TB score (greater than11.0 points) or Cre score (greater than14.1 points) were associated with persistently higher levels of TB or Cre (TB, 1.32 +/- 0.51; Cre, 1.23 +/- 0.41 mg/dl; both Pless than0.001 vs. low-risk strata). Conclusions: Reversibility of end-organ function with LVAD implantation can be well predicted by our new risk scoring system that consists of the preoperative TB or Cre level adjusted by the patients age. The scoring system would be beneficial, especially in considering the indication of a bridge to candidacy.
