New devices for pediatric mechanical circulatory support.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In adult patients with advanced heart failure, mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) offer a valid treatment option. MCSDs can serve as a bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery or destination therapy. In the REMATCH trial, MCSDs outperformed medical management for long-term support of end-stage heart failure. Until recently, pediatric patients could not fully benefi...
متن کاملHistory of Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices
History of Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices Advanced heart failure (HF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, and heart transplantation remains as the gold standard therapy. Because of scarcity of donor organs, the application of mechanical circulatory support devices has become a crucial approach in HF therapy as a bridge to transplantation. Therefore, mechani...
متن کاملMechanical Circulatory Support Devices for Acute Right Ventricular Failure.
Right ventricular (RV) failure remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality for patients with advanced heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or acute myocardial infarction and after major cardiac surgery. Over the past 2 decades, percutaneously delivered acute mechanical circulatory support pumps specifically designed to support RV failure have been introduced into clinical practice...
متن کاملCurrent Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices for End Stage Heart Failure
Mechanical circulatory support is necessary when heart failure becomes refractory to medical support. It is typically instituted when organ dysfunction occurs as a result of hypoperfusion. Enthusiasm has recently developed for the role of mechanical circulatory support in the ever-growing population of heart failure patients. Indeed, efforts in developing this technology have allowed for the re...
متن کاملMechanical circulatory support devices as destination therapy-current evidence.
Advanced heart failure is an increasing problem worldwide. Nowadays, mechanical circulatory support devices (MSCD) are an established therapeutic option for terminal heart failure after exhaustion of medical and conventional surgical treatment, and are becoming a realistic alternative to heart transplantation (HTX). There are a number of different treatment options for these patients, such as b...
