Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Their Role in Cardiogenic Shock: Literature Review and Contemporary Data

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Despite tremendous progress in the therapeutic algorithms of hemodynamically unstable patients, cardiogenic shock remains a clinical challenge with high mortality rate. Conservative management with inotropic agents remains the first-choice treatment, thoughit has been associated with serious adverse events and is not always adequate. Circulatory support with mechanical deviceshas been widely implemented in patients with cardiogenic shock during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions or post-cardiac surgery complications and has been associated with favorable outcomes.
