The application of mechanical circulatory support in special conditions

Special conditions, though not typically associated with cardiovascular distress, may be considered for treatment with temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices. Such non-classical examples of cardiovascular compromise include trauma, sepsis, and peri-partum cardiomyopathy, among others, and may require urgent treatment with a tMCS device for haemodynamic stabilization and tentatively saving the patient's life. In this section, examples of the use of tMCS in several special circumstances are presented to garner awareness for such conditions, which have previously been overlooked or even considered contraindications, and highlight the benefit of tMCS devices during treatment of these patients and the need for more research into these circumstances.

Abstract

Special conditions, though not typically associated with cardiovascular distress, may be considered for treatment with temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices. Such non-classical examples of cardiovascular compromise include trauma, sepsis, and peri-partum cardiomyopathy, among others, and may require urgent treatment with a tMCS device for haemodynamic stabilization and tentatively saving the patient's life. In this section, examples of the use of tMCS in several special circumstances are presented to garner awareness for such conditions, which have previously been overlooked or even considered contraindications, and highlight the benefit of tMCS devices during treatment of these patients and the need for more research into these circumstances.
