1 Section L: VAD Section Intent: The intent of this section is to identify and collect information concerning VAD placement, including: Indication for VAD; VAD Implant type; VAD Explant reason; and VAD s. Sequence # Data Field Field Definition Data Field Intent / Clarification Source Document 1920 VAD Indicate if the patient, during a previous Previous VAD hospitalization, received a mechanical ventricular assist device, pneumatically or electrically controlled, that supports the pumping chambers of 1930 VAD Indication for initial VAD the heart. Indicate the reason the patient is receiving the initial ventricular assist device ( VAD): - Bridge to Transplantation: Includes those patients who are supported with a VAD until a heart transplant is possible. - Bridge to Recovery: Includes those patients who are expected to have ventricular recovery (i.e. Myocarditis patients, postcardiotomy syndromes, viral cardiomyopathies, AMI w/ revascularization, and post-transplant reperfusion injury). - Destination: Includes those patients where a heart transplant is not an option. The VAD is placed for permanent life sustaining support. - Postcardiotomy Ventricular Failure (Separation form CPB): Includes those Postcardiotomy patients who receive a VAD because of failure to separate from the heart-lung machine. Postcardiotomy refers to those patients with the inability to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass secondary to left, right or biventricular failure. - Device Malfunction: Includes those patients who are currently VAD supported and are experiencing device failure. Please note that future references to Initial VAD refer to the initial VAD for this hospitalization, not a VAD placed during a previous hospitalization.
