Abstract

Percutaneous ventricular assist devices (PVADs) are increasingly being used for hemodynamic support in patients with cardiogenic shock as well as for patients undergoing high-risk cardiovascular procedures. The currently available PVADs for left ventricular shock are reviewed; the evidence for supporting PVAD use is discussed, and the authors' perspective on their unique clinical applications is offered.
