Abstract :

Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) have been a successful therapy for patients in decompensating heart failure. However, there is often a substantial decision-making process involved prior to placing an LVAD, during which time a patient?s condition can rapidly deteriorate. Short term mechanical circulatory support plays an important role to keep these heart failure patients stable enough to be eligible for more durable therapies. Heart failure teams are looking for better device solutions or surgical strategies to keep these patients stable, infection free, better mobilized, providing a multiorgan recovery out of a cardiogenic shock period. Short term devices are also widely used to support right ventricle in patients with right ventricle failure and/or after LVAD therapy
