Class I recall issued for Abbott’s HeartMate 3 heart pump

The Abbott HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist system. When Medicare updated its policy on left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in 2020, making it easier for heart failure patients to receive an LVAD at a health center that does not perform heart transplants, the change was designed to improve patient access and boost outcomes. However, new research published in JAMA Network Open suggests shift may have potentially caused patients to miss out on heart transplants they would have otherwise received.

The FDA has issued a Class I recall of the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (Abbott) because a malfunction in the device’s outflow graft assembly could lead to graft occlusion, possibly reducing or stopping blood flow.

Playing the name game: Radiologists find 342 ways to describe a normal thyroid gland

Radiologists use “variable and complex” language to describe normal thyroid glands in chest CT reports, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology. Could this have a negative effect on patient comprehension?
