End-of-life planning in patients with mechanical circulatory support

Article indépendant

TRUONG, Katie P. | KIRKPATRICK, James N.

There are a growing number of patients with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the setting of bridge to transplant and destination therapy and temporary support. Preparedness planning is an important aspect of care that involves device-specific Goals of Care and Advance Care Planning and should ideally be used in MCS candidates before initiation of therapy and revisited periodically. The withdrawal of both temporary and durable MCS can be complex and controversial.
