Mechanical circulatory support after paediatric heart transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may be required after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHTx) in children for the treatment of failure or rejection. We review the incidence and outcomes of post-transplant MCS in our institution. METHODS MCS was classified as early (<1 month since transplant) or late (>1 month since transplant) and the support offered was either veno-arterial e...
متن کاملClinical experience using the Levitronix CentriMag system for temporary right ventricular mechanical circulatory support.
BACKGROUND Short-term mechanical circulatory support may be lifesaving in patients with right ventricular (RV) failure related to post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS), cardiac transplantation (CTx), and long-term therapy with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). This study evaluates our clinical experience using the CentriMag (Levitronix LLC, Waltham, Mass) system for temporary mechanic...
متن کاملTemporary 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 کاملDuration of Heart Failure Is an Important Predictor of Outcomes After Mechanical Circulatory Support.
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) progression results in worsening functional capacity and end-organ compromise. HF may occur acutely or be associated with a chronic presentation. We hypothesized that the duration of HF affects outcomes after mechanical circulatory support. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 10 730 patients registered in Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Supp...
متن کاملMechanical circulatory support in heart failure
The increasing number of end-stage heart failure patients eligible for heart transplant and the disproportionately low number of donor hearts have led to increased interest in ventricular assist devices (VAD). These devices can be used as a bridge to decision, bridge to recovery, or bridge to candidacy. The main advantage of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is the improvement of organ perfu...
