Objectives: The objectives of this review are to discuss the process of patient and
mechanical device selection, operative management, and postoperative care with a focus …

Durable ventricular assist devices (VAD), despite being a standard therapy for adults in end-
stage heart failure, are not so extended among the paediatric population for some reasons …

End-stage heart failure affects thousands of children yearly and mechanical circulatory
support is used at many points in their care. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation supports …

Background There are limited data about pediatric left ventricular assist device (VAD)
infections in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate device postimplantation …

In chronic cardiomyopathy, mechanical circulatory support plays an increasingly important
role for children as the shortage of suitable donor hearts increases times on the transplant …

Although MCS can be life saving in cardiogenic shock, the results are still suboptimal.
Mortality is associated with the critical presupport state and the adverse events during MCS …

Cardiomyopathies represent an uncommon but serious cause of heart disease in the
pediatric population and can be categorized as dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive and left …

Introduction: The development of ventricular assist devices (VADs) have enabled myocardial
recovery and improved patient survival until heart transplantation. However, device options …
