Abstract: Background-The use of extracorporeal life support (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO]) as a direct bridge to heart transplant in adult patients is associated with poor survival. Similarly, the use of an implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to salvage patients with cardiac arrest, severe hemodynamic instability, and multiorgan failure results in poor outcome. The use of LVAD implant in patients who present with cardiogenic shock who have not been evaluated for transplantation or who have su… Show more

“…The incidence of right ventricular failure after LVAD implantation was higher in patients with preoperative PCPS, 5 and preoperative circulatory support was the most significant risk factor for mechanical right ventricular support after LVAD implantation. 14 In the present series, more patients with preoperative PCPS developed right ventricular failure, which required prolonged i.v.…”

“…4, 5 The impact of preoperative PCPS on LVAD support, however, remains inconclusive. McCarthy et al found that prior PCPS was a significant risk factor for death after LVAD implantation, 13 whereas Pagani et al reported that preoperative PCPS was not a risk factor for death after LVAD implantation.…”
