Mechanical Circulatory Support • In Children • Towards Myocardial Recovery • Permanent
After decades of laboratory investigations mechanical circulatory support for the failing heart has entered the clinical arena. Today, a growing number of patients with progressive myocardial failure awaiting cardiac transplantation is successfully bridged to transplantation with ventricular assist...
