Summary
Mechanical circulatory support using the TandemHeart system can bridge patients with severe aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock to urgent transcatheter aortic valve replacement, improving outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiovascular Surgery
Background:
- Severe aortic stenosis (AS) can lead to heart failure and cardiogenic shock (CS).
- Emergent intervention is crucial but challenging due to the rapid decline in hemodynamics.
- Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may be necessary before valve replacement.
