Thoughtful preparation of the surgical field at the time of initial mechanical circulatory support (MCS) implantation has the potential for decreasing operative time and surgical risk of subsequent heart transplantation. It sets the stage for expeditious, safe sternal reentry, and identification of structures necessary for initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Tailored Approach to Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support for Cardiogenic Shock: Strategies to Facilitate Patient Mobilization.
Curr Cardiol Rep
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery, Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital, Northwell Health, 300 Community Drive, 1 DSU, Manhasset, NY, 11030, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This article discusses a tailored approach to managing cardiogenic shock and temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS). We also outline specific mobilization strategies for patients with different tMCS devices and configurations, which can be enabled by this tailored approach to cardiogenic shock management.
Recent Findings: Safe and effective mobilization of patients with cardiogenic shock receiving tMCS can be accomplished.

Cardiogenic shock represents a critical condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate circulation leading to insufficient tissue perfusion and end-organ failure. Temporary mechanical circulatory support offers the potential to stabilize patients, provide a bridge-to-recovery, provide a bridge-to-decision, or facilitate definitive heart replacement therapies. Although randomized controlled trials have been performed in infarct-related cardiogenic shock and refractory cardiac arrest, the optimal timing, appropriate patient selection, and optimal implementation of these devices remain complex and predominantly based on observational data and expert consensus, especially in non-ischaemic shock.

We sought to examine the association between intravascular microaxial left ventricular assist device (LVAD) versus intra-aortic balloon pump use in patients without cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing PCI.
Methods And Results: This retrospective study analyzed claims data from a large, insured population who underwent PCI without CS from April 1, 2016 to July 31, 2022.
Donor Specific Antibodies in Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation-Bridged Lung Transplant Recipients.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used as a bridge to lung transplantation. Although other mechanical circulatory support devices have been associated with anti-human leukocyte antigen antibody formation, including de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA), it is unknown whether ECMO is a sensitizing exposure.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of lung transplant recipients.
Rescuing the Right Ventricle: Mechanical Support After Pediatric Heart Transplantation.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
June 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Perfusion Services, The Heart Center, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio.
Background: Right ventricular (RV) failure after heart transplantation (HT) is common in those with pretransplantation elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Mechanical circulatory support has been used as a bridge to recovery, with mixed outcomes. We describe a patient with failed single-ventricle palliation in whom severe RV failure developed after HT.
