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.

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.

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 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.

Mechanical Circulatory Support

2020
Mechanical circulatory support is becoming more frequently utilised in the intensive care and cardiac surgical setting. From extra-corporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to ventricular assist devices (VADs), there are newer models, and variations in configurations to accommodate expanding indications. This thesis aims to determine the current progress of

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

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.

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).
