Mechanical circulatory support in pediatrics
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2016End-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, 2022Mechanical 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, 2015Heart 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, 2006Over 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, 2009The 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.

Biomarkers in Mechanical Circulatory Support
Biomarkers in Medicine, 2014Heart failure is a complex multifaceted syndrome occurring as a result of impaired cardiac function. Understanding the neurohormonal, inflammatory and molecular pathways involved in the pathophysiology of this syndrome has led to the development of effective and widely used pharmacological treatments.

Mechanical circulatory support in the 1990s
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1992The 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.

The Evolution of Mechanical Circulatory Support
Cardiology Clinics, 2018The 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, 2003Heart 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, 2003As 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.
