Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support: A Review of the Options, Indications, and Outcomes
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 in a variety of clinical situations. Currently, several options exist for temporary MCS. We review the indications, contraindications, clinica...
متن کاملPediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the pediatric heart failure population has a limited history especially for infants, and neonates. It has been increasingly recognized that there is a rapidly expanding population of children diagnosed and living with heart failure. This expanding population has resulted in increasing numbers of children with medically resistant end-stage heart failure. T...
متن کاملNew 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 کاملHeart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support --problems of pediatric patients with terminal stage cardiac failure in Japan.
Although severe heart failure is less common among the pediatric population than in adults, many pediatric patients develop terminal stage cardiac failure. For such patients, heart transplantation is the only hope of survival. However, heart transplantation in children is illegal in Japan and therefore impossible to perform. At present, only children from families with enough financial resource...
متن کاملElectrophysiological alterations after mechanical circulatory support in patients with advanced cardiac failure.
BACKGROUND Recognizing that mechanical circulatory support with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) induces changes in myocardial structure and contractile function, we examined whether there are changes in ventricular conduction and/or repolarization among failing human hearts after LVAD implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 12-lead electrocardiograms before surgery, immediately ...
