Liver function during mechanical circulatory support: from witness to prognostic determinant
In recent years, the treatment options for patients with severe cardiorespiratory failure have been extended by the implementation of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Identification of patients that benefit most from this cost-intensive treatment modality is of central importance, but is also challenging. Previous studies unravelled certain patient characteristics that should be taken into...
متن کاملMechanical Circulatory Support for Advanced Heart Failure: Are We about to Witness a New “Gold Standard”?
The impact of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for the treatment of advanced heart failure has played a significant role as a bridge to transplant and more recently as a long-term solution for non-eligible candidates. Continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs), based on axial and centrifugal design, are currently the most popular devices in view of their smaller size, inc...
متن کاملMechanical Circulatory Support
The role of mechanical circulatory device therapy has progressed rapidly over the last 2 decades, from supporting the failing heart in hospitalized patients awaiting heart transplantation to permanent or “destination” outpatient therapy in individuals with end-stage systolic heart failure (HF) for whom transplantation is not an option. Over this period, devices themselves have evolved through s...
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 کاملPrevalence and prognostic importance of changes in renal function after mechanical circulatory support.
BACKGROUND The long-term durability and prognostic significance of improvement in renal function after mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has yet to be characterized in a large multicenter population. The primary goals of this analysis were to describe serial post-MCS changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and determine their association with all-cause mortality. METHODS AND...
