EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The UK ventricular assist device (VAD) service was provisionally designated and

commissioned by NHS England from April 2001 as a method to bridge patients with severe

heart failure to heart transplantation. Data collection on all patients implanted with VADs

began in April 2002 and, since January 2007, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) have

been responsible for data collection and reporting.

This report contains key figures about VAD and Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation

(ECMO) implantation between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2016, for all six adult

cardiothoracic transplant centres performing VAD and ECMO implants in the UK for either

? bridging to heart transplant,

? primary graft dysfunction (PGD), or

? rejection post heart transplantation.

The report presents information on the number of VADs and ECMOs implanted and survival

analysis after implant, both on a national and centre-specific basis.

There are two UK paediatric implant centres; Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and

Newcastle (also an adult implant centre). However, GOSH and the Newcastle paediatric

department have only recently started entering data in 2013. Results therefore only

consider paediatrics (age ................
