Mid-term mechanical circulatory support: comparison of single-centre data with the EUROMACS registry [TX & MCS]

MCS is a valuable therapeutic option with excellent survival rates; nevertheless, it is associated with clinically significant complication rates. International registries are important tools that allow, as an example, internal quality control of mortality, complication and morbidity rates from a single centre compared with the EUROMACS database.
