Short-term mechanical circulatory Support
Heart failure continues to be an ever-growing public health concern. The continued aging of the population has contributed to the increasing incidence and prevalence of heart failure. Mechanical circulatory support is used to treat patients with advanced heart failure. A mechanical pump is surgically implanted to provide pulsatile or non-pulsatile flow of blood to supplement or replace the bloo...
متن کاملMechanical circulatory support: new data, old problems.
Mechanical devices to support the circulation in the presence of a “failing” heart were originally conceived as alternatives to biological replacement of the heart. Such alternatives are needed because of the problems inherent in allotransplantation. These have included the grossly inadequate supply of donor hearts, as well as the need for chronic immunosuppression and the myriad of complicatio...
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 کاملLong-term mechanical circulatory support: could it really have a public health impact?
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in North America and Europe, and heart failure represents a major component, affecting about 2.5% of the adult population [1, 2]. Ten percent of the heart-failure population experiences truly advanced heart failure, with limited long-term survival. For patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV heartfailure symptoms poorly respons...
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...
