Key result
Mechanical circulatory support systems have demonstrated efficacy in selected patients with severe cardiac failure, enabling assessment of state-of-the-art devices and future developments.
This review highlights the continuous technological progress and clinical efficacy of mechanical circulatory support systems for severe heart failure over the past 20 years.
Supports MCS in selected severe HF; leaves open optimal device selection and long-term outcomes pending prospective trials.
Over the last 20 years, continuous progress has been made in the technology and clinical applications of mechanical circulatory support systems for the treatment of the most severe forms of cardiac failure. In a few pioneering centers, their efficacy has been demonstrated in selected groups of patients. This experience enables assessment of the state-of-the-art devices and prediction of likely future developments.
