The Evolution of Mechanical Circulatory Support

Cardiology Clinics, 2018
The field of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has evolved from earlier-generation pulsatile-flow devices that were primarily used to support critically ill patients in the hospital to newer-generation continuous-flow devices that permit hospital discharge and resumption of normal life activities. The technology is used to bridge transplant-eligible

The future of mechanical circulatory support

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2003
Heart failure is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in adults and the elderly. In the United States, an estimated 5 million persons already have heart failure, and more than 500,000 new cases are being diagnosed each year [ 1].

Outpatients on mechanical circulatory support

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003
As waiting periods for heart transplantation have lengthened, the application of long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has become more common in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock. Anticipating increased long-term MCS, a policy to discharge patients home has been instituted.

Mechanical circulatory support in children

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1994
Nine children (aged 1.2-15 years) have been treated with mechanical circulatory support devices at our institution. Indications for treatment were acute cardiac allograft rejection (n = 4), postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (n = 4), and bridge to cardiac transplantation (n = 1).

Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices

Critical Care Clinics
Ultrasonography is essential in intensive care units for rapid, real-time assessment and management of various organ systems, particularly for patients with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices. It aids in the diagnosis, safe placement, and monitoring of MCS devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, Impella, and implantable left ...

Pediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support

ASAIO Journal, 2005
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is based on technology that has been used clinically for decades. Largely because of its widespread use in pediatric patients with respiratory failure, familiarity with this technology has established ECMO as the most commonly used form of circulatory support for children.

Mechanical circulatory support

2018
The 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s saw the transition of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) from the necessary extension of cardiopulmonary bypass to the development of durable devices. Within the last 20 years, enhanced pumps as well as surgical and medical experience have allowed MCS to become a routine part of the armamentarium for treating heart failure

Pathology in Mechanical Circulatory Support

Pathology services have a vital role for guiding care for and predicting risk in advanced heart failure patients undergoing definitive therapy, including mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and heart transplantation. Pathologists also provide research data to help in the fundamental understanding of heart failure.

Mechanical Circulatory Support

1998
Acute cardiogenic shock has a mortality rate of 80–90%, that of chronic terminal heart failure is about 50%. For this reason, mechanical circulatory support systems were developed both for acute bridging of a potentially reversible cardiogenic shock and for longer term therapy in the form of a bridge-to-transplantation method.
