Mechanical Circulatory Support [PDF]

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2021
Abstract The definition of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) refers to a group of mechanical devices which can be added to the physiological circulation providing support or replacement of the heart and/or the lungs. This allows adequate blood flow and oxygenation in situations where pharmaceutical support is insufficient. To establish MCS we have

History of mechanical circulatory support

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2000
End-stage heart failure exerts a tremendous impact on individuals and society in terms of personal and economic suffering. The development of mechanical circulatory support devices has been driven by the shortage of donor organs for heart transplantation. Collaborative efforts in the fields of surgery, medicine, and biomedical engineering, sponsored by

Prediction, prevention, and management of right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation: A comprehensive review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative phase or during the outpatient follow-up.
