Abstract

There are many conceptual ways to consider the devices intended to support the circulation: the indication for implantation, type of device, the ventricles supported, the anticipated duration of support and the acuity of patient need. For example, devices used to support a patient in cardiogenic shock following an acute myocardial infarction are different from those used to treat a patient in chronic advanced heart failure who will live permanently on a device. In the remainder of this chapter, mechanical circulatory support devices will be presented as those intended for either short- or long-term support.
