Minimally Invasive Temporary Biventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support

摘要

? 2021 Elsevier Inc.The management of biventricular heart failure presents a significant challenge. Recently, percutaneous options for univentricular support that may be combined to provide full biventricular support have come to market. These support configurations allow patients to be bridged to recovery, durable mechanical circulatory support, or to transplantation. Due to the minimally invasive nature of these systems, patients may be rapidly extubated, and some may be mobilized with full biventricular support. Varied approaches for implementation of these temporary support systems exist, with some of the most common techniques presented here.
