Advances in mechanical circulatory support

Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation, 2008
Mechanical circulatory support is expanding the treatment of advanced heart failure. The number of heart transplantations performed worldwide remains fairly static, and medical therapy alone for end stage heart failure continues to have dismal results. This article presents the authors' opinion as to the current status, challenges, and future course of

Mechanical Circulatory Support [PDF]

Circulation: Heart Failure, 2008
Received March 26, 2008; accepted June 5, 2008. The development of durable mechanical circulatory support systems paralleled the expansion of cardiac transplantation. The National Institutes of Health sponsored grants in the 1980s to develop implantable left heart assist systems; 20 years later, they contracted for a national registry, the ...

Update on Mechanical Circulatory Support

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2023
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices provide temporary or intermediate- to long-term support for acute cardiopulmonary support. In the last 20 to 30 years, tremendous growth in MCS device usage has been seen. These devices offer support for isolated respiratory failure, isolated cardiac failure, or both.

Mechanical circulatory support in pediatrics

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2016
End-stage heart failure affects thousands of children yearly and mechanical circulatory support is used at many points in their care. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation supports both the failing heart and lungs, which has led to its use as an adjunct to cardiopulmonary resuscitation as well as in post-operative cardiogenic shock.

Mechanical Circulatory Support

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2022
Mechanical life support therapies exist in many forms to temporarily replace the function of vital organs. Generally speaking, these tools are supportive therapy to allow for organ recovery but, at times, require transition to long-term mechanical support.

Mechanical circulatory support

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2015
Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart is not able to pump enough blood and oxygen required for organ systems to function. According to recent statistics from the American Heart Association (AHA), about 5.1 million people in the nation suffer from HF; one in nine deaths in 2009 included HF as a contributing cause. About half of people who

Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2006
Over the past two decades clinicians and researchers have sought to bring mechanical circulatory support (MCS) to pediatric patients with heart failure. ECMO, IABPs, and VADs have all been used in infants and children as a bridge to myocardial recovery or as a bridge to transplant.

Mechanical circulatory support in the ICCU

Acute Cardiac Care, 2009
The mortality of acute heart failure (AHF) remains high despite advances in treatment. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can be applied in AHF, refractory to conventional measures, to improve outcomes. This article aims to describe the current and the prospective role of MCS in the treatment of AHF.

Mechanical circulatory support in the 1990s

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1992
The current experience in bridging patients to weaning (more than 965 implants) and to transplantation (more than 544 implants) has shown the feasibility of mechanical circulatory support in patients with major cardiac dysfunction, who are unresponsive to optimal medical management.
