Description:

Mechanical circulatory support (MSC) has made tremendous progress in the past 15 years as thousands of patients worldwide have undergone implantation of long-term MSC devices (MCSDs). Currently, management of patients with MCSDs has been guided by individual clinicians and centre-specific protocols. Short-term success with MCS therapy largely depends on patient selection, surgical technique, and post-operative management. Long-term success depends on physician and patient engagement in care of their device and personal health.

These International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation guidelines address the following areas:


patient selection for permanent pump implantation

mechanisms that are important for patient optimisation prior to device implantation

intraoperative considerations and immediate post-operative care in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting

inpatient management during the post-operative phase, once the patient is out of the ICU through discharge, and during re-admission to the hospital

long-term outpatient care of  the MCS patient using a multidisciplinary approach
