Percutaneous Mechanical Support Devices in Cardiogenic Shock – How to Assess With Cardiac Ultrasound

Session Format

Pre-Recorded

Session Type

Plenary Presentation

Topic Area

Critical Care

Description

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) encompasses a range of cardiac assist systems that provide hemodynamic support in cardiogenic shock. Each MCS system has unique mechanical properties that impact clinical utilization, efficacy, and safety. This session will highlight the use of echocardiography in the peri-implantation evaluation of patients receiving MCS to guide device selection, hemodynamic optimization, and individual patient outcome.

Learning Objective 1

To review the most common types of mechanical circulatory support.

Learning Objective 2

Describe the indications and contraindications to the use of the different MCS devices, with a focus on peri-implantation echocardiographic assessment.
