Abstract

A mechanical circulatory assist devices (MCADs) , is a pump capable of giving mechanical support to a heart in heart failure, facilitating the pumping of blood from the cardiac cavities to the systemic circulation. We consider circulatory assistance to any device or system used to support or replace cardiac function temporarily or, more rarely, permanently. As a general rule, we refer to mechanical ventricular assist and total artificial heart.
