Apogee, A HeartWare HVAD Destination Product Surveillance Registry (PSR) Platform

Medtronic is sponsoring the Apogee study to further enhance scientific understanding of the implant procedure, optimized blood pressure management, and anticoagulation/ antiplatelet therapy in patients receiving a Medtronic HeartWare™ Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD™) for destination therapy. The Apogee study is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Platform.

The Apogee study is a prospective, observational, post-market, on-label, multi-site study in Destination Therapy patients. Patients participating in the Medtronic Destination Therapy (DT) Post Approval Study (PAS) (NCT03681210) are eligible for participation in Apogee. Patients enrolled in Apogee will be followed under the Apogee study for one-year post-implant. After participation in Apogee ends, patients will remain enrolled in DT PAS and will continue to be followed as outlined in the DT PAS protocol. The total estimated study duration is 33 months.
