Patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) presenting for non-cardiac surgery (NCS) are increasingly commonplace; however, little is known about their outcomes. Accordingly, the authors sought to determine the frequency of complications, risk factors, and staffing patterns. We performed a retrospective study at our academic tertiary care center, investigating all adult LVAD patients undergoing NCS from 2006 to 2015. We described perioperative profiles of NCS cases, including patient, LVAD, surgical case, and anesthetic characteristics, as well as staffing by cardiac/non-cardiac anesthesiologists. Through univariate and multivariable analyses, we studied acute kidney injury (AKI) as a primary outcome; secondary outcomes included elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) suggestive of LVAD thrombosis, intraoperative bleeding complication, and intraoperative hypotension. We additionally studied major perioperative complications and mortality. Two hundred forty six patients underwent 702 procedures. Of 607 index cases, 110 (18%) experienced postoperative AKI, and 16 (2.6%) had elevated LDH. Of cases with complete blood pressure data, 176 (27%) experienced intraoperative hypotension. Bleeding complications occurred in 45 cases (6.4%). Thirteen (5.3%) patients died within 30 days of surgery. Independent risk factors associated with AKI included major surgical procedures (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1–17.3, p = 0.03) and cases prompting invasive arterial line monitoring (aOR 3.6, 95% CI 1.3–10.3, p = 0.02) or preoperative fresh frozen plasma transfusion (aOR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1–2.8, p = 0.02). Intraoperative hypotension and AKI were the most common complications in LVAD patients presenting for NCS; perioperative management remains a challenge.
