Abstract

Mechanical circulatory support has evolved dramatically in the last 30 years and has become a mainstay in the treatment of cardiogenic shock and advanced heart failure. As a result of the increased use of mechanical circulatory support, critical care physicians with different degrees of training and experience in the modern cardiac intensive care unit (ICU) are increasingly likely to participate in the care of patients on advanced hemodynamic support. In this chapter, we review the current options for mechanical circulatory support with a focus on the available devices and on the complications associated with their use, and we highlight the most recent contributions to the field.
