Background and Identification

Circulatory support systems are used to improve heart functionality, typically with patients experiencing advanced heart or pulmonary failure. A mechanical circulatory support system helps the patient’s heart pump blood throughout the body. MCS systems may be used in patients before receiving a heart transplant or after cardiac bypass surgery.
