    IT WAS REPORTED THROUGH THE RESEARCH ABSTRACT TITLED ¿MICROCIRCULATORY ALTERATIONS AND RENAL OUTCOME FOLLOWING HEART MATE II AND 3 LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE IMPLANTATIONS¿ IDENTIFYING HEARTMATE 3 MAY BE RELATED WITH ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY AND DEATH. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE SUBLINGUAL MICROCIRCULATION TO EARLY PREDICT SEVERE AKI. IT WAS EVALUATED 30 PATIENTS IMPLANTED WITH LVAD WHERE 73% WERE IMPLANTED WITH HM3 BETWEEN 2015 AND 2017. BEDSIDE MICROSCOPY WITH CYTOCAM-IDF TO MONITOR SUBLINGUAL MICROCIRCULATION INVOLVED BEFORE AND AFTER LVAD IMPLANTATION. A TOTAL OF 23 PATIENTS (77%) SHOWED MILD TO SEVERE AKI. ONE WAY ANOVA PAIRED TEST OF MICROCIRCULATORY PARAMETERS TOTAL VESSEL DENSITY (TVD), FUNCTIONAL CAPILLARY DENSITY (FCD), PORTION OF THE PERFUSED VESSELS (PPV), RED BLOOD CELL VELOCITY (RBCV) AND TISSUE RED BLOOD CELL PERFUSION (TRBCP) REVEALED HIGH ASSOCIATION WITH MILD TO SEVERE AKI (RESPECTIVELY PRE-AND POST LVAD WITH P = 0,0466; P = 0,0472; P = 0.027 AND = 0.0051). FURTHERMORE, EARLY MORTALITY FOLLOWING LVAD IS HIGHLY ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE AKI (P = 0.002). SUBLINGUAL MICROCIRCULATION WAS REPORTED TO BE PROMISING PREDICTOR FOR MILD TO SEVERE AKI FOLLOWING LVAD IMPLANTATION.
