Mechanical Circulatory Support in Children. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2016;12(2):132-40 Authors: Adachi I, Jaquiss RD Abstract The field of pediatric mechanical circulatory support has undergone a significant evolution with the advent of devices designed for children and the implementation of new strategies for deployment. With the ongoing shortage of organs the demand for new devices specifically designed for children will only increase. This review discusses the evolution of mechanical circulatory support, available devices, and the implementation of new strategies for their deployment. PMID: 27048145 [PubMed - in process]
