Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices

Context:

  • Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems include paracorporeal, portable, and fully implantable ventricular assist devices.
  • These devices address a spectrum of clinical needs, from intractable cardiac failure to cardiogenic shock.
  • MCS is utilized with three primary treatment intentions: bridging to transplantation, bridging to recovery, or as a permanent solution.

Purpose:

  • To review the current landscape and applications of mechanical circulatory support systems.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of MCS as an alternative to cardiac transplantation.
  • To identify challenges hindering the broader implementation of MCS technology.

Summary:

  • Mechanical circulatory support devices are available in various configurations, including paracorporeal and implantable ventricular assist devices.

  • These systems are indicated for severe cardiac conditions and employed for bridging to transplant, recovery, or permanent support.
  • MCS has emerged as a viable alternative to cardiac transplantation, reducing the need for total artificial hearts.

    • Impact:

    • Mechanical circulatory support devices are increasingly effective alternatives to cardiac transplantation.
    • The efficacy of MCS has diminished the necessity for total artificial hearts, reserving them for limited indications.
    • Technological, clinical, economic, and ethical hurdles must be overcome to facilitate the widespread application of MCS.
