May guide device selection in post-cardiotomy shock; Level 5 data leave comparative effectiveness unresolved.
Observational (n=37)

Different modalities of mechanical circulatory support post-cardiotomy yield varying weaning and discharge rates, highlighting the importance of appropriate device selection for severe heart failure.
Koyanagi et al. (1995) conducted an observational in Severe heart failure after open-heart operations (n=37). Mechanical circulatory support was evaluated on Weaning and discharge rates. Mechanical circulatory support after open-heart surgery resulted in discharge rates ranging from 11.1% with PCPS to 50.0% with LVAD, with isolated left ventricular supports reducing hemorrhage.
