The sixth annual report of the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) summarizes the first 8 years of patient enrollment. The analysis is based on data from >10,000 patients and updates demographics, survival, adverse events and risk factors. Among patients with continuous-flow pumps, actuarial survival continues to be 80% at 1 year and 70% at 2 years. The report features a comparison of two eras of continuous-flow durable devices in the USA in terms of device strategy, patient profiles, adverse event burden, survival and quality of life.
