Active Comparator: Active Arm
LVAD Patients on the active arm will be given 100mg Aspirin

Device: LVAD Implant
Subjects will undergo Heartmate 3 LVAD implant prior to randomization Drug: Aspirin 100mg Subjects will be randomized to either Placebo or Aspirin post implant. |
- Non-Inferiority Primary Endpoint [ Time Frame: 1 year post implant ]The primary endpoint for this study will be met if the placebo arm is non-inferior to the aspirin arm in the composite of survival free of any non-surgical (any event occuring > 14 days post implant) major hemocompatibility related adverse event (Stroke, pump thrombosis, bleeding [intracranial bleeds that do not meet stroke definition], arterial peripheral thromboembolism), at 1-year post implant
- Rate of Non-surgical Major Hemorrhagic Events [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]The non-surgical major hemorrhagic events will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- Rate of Non-surgical Major Thrombotic Events [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]The non-surgical major thrombotic events will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- Rate of Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]Survival will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- Rate of Stroke Rates [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]Stroke rates will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- Rate of Pump Thrombosis Rates [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]Pump thrombosis rates will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- Rate of Bleeding Rates [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]Bleeding rates will be compared between the two arms of the study.
- The Hemocompatibility Score (HCS) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]This study will also assess changes in the hemocompatibility score as a result of removal of antiplatelet therapy from the antithrombotic regimen
- Rate of Rehospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]This study will also assess changes in the rehospitalization as a result of removal of antiplatelet therapy from the antithrombotic regimen
- Economic Cost Implications [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years post implant ]This study will also assess changes in the cost implications as a result of removal of antiplatelet therapy from the antithrombotic regimen

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject will receive the HeartMate 3 per standard of care (SOC) in accordance with the approved indications for use in the country of implant.
- Subject will receive the HeartMate 3 as their first durable VAD.
- Subject must provide written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation related procedure.

- Participation in any other clinical investigation(s) involving an MCS device, or interventional investigation(s) likely to confound study results or affect study outcome.
- Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
