Abstract
Terminal heart failure is an emerging problem with acontinuously growing number of diseased patients worldwide. Because of the limited number of donor hearts, mechanical circulatory support is increasingly becoming an integral part of surgical treatment for end-stage heart failure, especially in patients deemed for destination therapy. Accurate patient selection, appropriate indication, and the optimal implantation time point guarantee a good outcome for these patients. This review article gives asystematic overview of the possible indication settings and treatment strategies for various patient groups in need of mechanical circulatory support.
