Returning for a second study this month, the JHLT Digital Media Editors invite first author Charlotte Van Edom to discuss the paper, “Apixaban plasma levels in patients with HeartMate 3 support.” As a cardiologist in training and a PhD candidate at the University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium, Van Edom’s work focuses on hemocompatibility and mechanical circulatory support, covering both short-term and long-term support. The episode explores: The evolution of the use and understanding of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) during LVAD support, including the increased focus on Factor Xa inhibitors Encouraging findings from the study and what clinical practices might need to change if introducing apixaban Additional studies exploring DOACs in LVAD patients For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you’re an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.
