The percutaneous lead management kit (PLMK) was developed for the HeartMate 2 (HM2) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to reduce trauma at the exit site and to maintain a clean environment. REduce Driveline Trauma through StabIlization and Exit Site ManagemenT (RESIST) was a multicenter, prospective, nonrandomized study designed to evaluate the feasibility of the PLMK for managing the HM2 driveline exit site. Fifty patients were enrolled at five sites at a median of 495 days post-HM2 implant; 92% (46 of 50) of patients used the PLMK for a minimum of 30 days. At 30 days, more patients found the PLMK to be extremely comfortable (80% vs. 37%, p < 0.001) and extremely effective at stabilizing the driveline (82% vs. 40%, p < 0.001) compared with each center's standard of care. Frequency of dressing changes was 6-7 days or higher for 85% of the patients with PLMK. Three patients developed driveline infection while on PLMK (6%, 0.15 events per patient year), and 35 patients continued to use the PLMK after 6 months. The PLMK is easy to use, increases patient comfort, and increases driveline stability with a dressing change frequency of 6-7 days.
经皮导线管理套件(PLMK)是为HeartMate 2(HM2)左心室辅助装置(LVAD)开发的,旨在减少出口部位的创伤并维持清洁环境。通过稳定和出口部位管理减少驱动线创伤(RESIST)是一项多中心、前瞻性、非随机研究,旨在评估PLMK管理HM2驱动线出口部位的可行性。5个中心共纳入50例患者,中位时间为HM2植入术后495天;92%(50例中的46例)的患者使用PLMK至少30天。与各中心的标准护理相比,在30天时,更多患者认为PLMK极其舒适(80%对37%,p<0.001),并且在稳定驱动线方面极其有效(82%对40%,p<0.001)。使用PLMK的患者中,85%的患者换药频率为6 - 7天或更高。3例患者在使用PLMK期间发生驱动线感染(6%,每位患者每年0.15次事件),35例患者在6个月后继续使用PLMK。PLMK易于使用,可提高患者舒适度,并以6 - 7天的换药频率提高驱动线稳定性。
