Mechanical circulatory support in the UK [PDF]
BMJ, 2007 In June the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) published welcome but bewildering guidelines for short term circulatory support with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or recovery.1 Welcome because the guidelines will support funding of these devices but bewildering because few, if ...

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]
, 2014 Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

Current Landscape of Temporary Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support Technology
US Cardiology Review, 2021 Mechanical circulatory support devices provide hemodynamic support to patients who present with cardiogenic shock. These devices work using different mechanisms to provide univentricular or biventricular support.

Role of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute MI Management
US Cardiology Review, 2023 Cardiogenic shock complicating acute MI carries high mortality and morbidity in many cases. Mechanical circulatory support devices are often used in these cases, aimed at improving patient-centered outcomes, although there is a lack of large randomized ...

Flow coupling between active and passive fluids across water-oil interfaces [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Active fluid droplets surrounded by oil can spontaneously develop circulatory flows. However, the dynamics of the surrounding oil and their influence on the active fluid remain poorly understood. To investigate interactions between the active fluid and the passive oil across their interface, kinesin-driven microtubule-based active fluid droplets were ...

Nonlinear saturation of thermal instabilities [PDF]
, 2021 Low-frequency simulations of a one-layer model with lateral buoyancy variations (i.e., thermodynamically active) have revealed circulatory motions resembling quite closely submesoscale observations in the surface ocean rather than indefinitely growing in the absence of a high-wavenumber instability cutoff. In this note it is shown that the existence of

Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support: A Review of the Options, Indications, and Outcomes
Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2014 Cardiogenic shock remains a challenging disease entity and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can be implemented in an acute setting to stabilize acutely ill patients with cardiomyopathy
