Arterial Pulsatility and Circulating von Willebrand Factor in Patients on Mechanical Circulatory Support

Abstract

The main risk factor for bleeding in patients with continuous-flow mechanical circulatory support (CF-MCS) is the acquired von Willebrand factor (VWF) defect related to the high shear-stress forces developed by these devices. Although a higher bleeding rate has been reported in CF-MCS recipients who had reduced pulsatility, the relation between pulsatility and the VWF defect has never been studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between pulsatility and VWF under CF-MCS. We assessed the effect of 2 CF-MCS on VWF multimer degradation in a mock circulatory loop (model 1). Using these devices, we investigated in a dose-effect model (model 2) 3 levels of pulsatility in 3 groups of swine. In a cross-over model (model 3), we studied the effects of sequential changes of pulsatility on VWF. We reported the evolution of VWF multimerization in a patient undergoing serial CF-MCS and/or pulsatile-MCS. We demonstrated the proteolytic degradation of VWF multimers by high shear CF-MCS in a circulatory loop without pulsatility. We observed both in swine models and in a patient that the magnitude of the VWF degradation is modulated by the pulsatility level in the high shear-stress level condition, and that the restorat...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
