Brief Summary: Heart failure is a world epidemic LVADs are increasingly used as they have demonstrated improved survival rates compared to optimal medical management Improving outcomes have been seen with the newer LVAD technology the HeartMate 3 Abbott Chicago IL however hemocompatibility related adverse events including thrombosis and bleeding are still a major cause of morbidity and mortality The recent ARIES trial showed that in patients with advanced heart failure treated with a HeartMate3 LVAD avoidance of aspirin as part of an antithrombotic regimen which includes vitamin K antagonist VKA is not inferior to a regimen containing aspirin does not increase thromboembolism risk and is associated with a reduction in bleeding events

This clinical investigation is a prospective randomized controlled study of advanced heart failure patients supports with the HeartMate3 for more then 3 months with two different antithrombotic regimens VKA with and without aspirin The objective of this investigation is to study the safety and efficacy of an antithrombotic regimen without antiplatelet therapy
Detailed Description: Objective To study the safety and efficacy of an anti-platelet-free antithrombotic regimen in patients with advanced heart failure who are chronically supported with the HeartMate 3 LVAD

Hypothesis The withdrawal of aspirin from the antithrombotic regimen of HeartMate3 LVAD patients will not adversely affect safety and efficacy and may reduce non-surgical bleeding

Clinical Investigation Design This is a prospective randomized controlled clinical investigation of advanced heart failure patients who are chronically supported with the HeartMate 3 LVAD The study will compare two different antithrombotic regimens VKA with aspirin versus VKA without aspirin

Number of Subjects Required for Inclusion in Clinical Investigation

Based on ARIES results 58 patients will need to be enrolled in each arm 116 total to achieve 80 power to prove that the non-aspirin group is non-inferior to the aspirin group using a non-inferiority margin of 15 with the Farrington-Manning risk difference approach to non-inferiority at a one-sided alpha 005 To account for an expected 10 dropout rate up to 128 patients will be randomized in the trial
