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.

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].

Mechanical circulatory support in children
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1994Nine 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).

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.

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

Mechanical Circulatory Support
2007Mechanical cardiac assistance had its origins as an offshoot from the development of cardiopulmonary bypass. Early efforts in the design and development of devices were focused on providing support for the body and the heart during periods of recovery from impaired cardiac function following unsuccessful cardiac surgery and / or acute myocardial ...

Mechanical Circulatory Support
2016Due to the marked increase in the number of advanced (end stage) heart failure patients and the lack of suitable donors to allow heart transplantation, the majority of these patients do not survive. Recent improvements in technology have allowed development of durable ventricular assist devices that can support an increasing number of patients for ...
