Temporary mechanical ventricular support: Part 1
Br J Hosp Med.
1989 May.
Abstract
Temporary mechanical circulatory support is currently indicated in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock and if necessary as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. This support is presently required in 1% of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Cardiac function and quality of life in long-term survivors following hospital discharge has been excellent.
