  • Research and application progress of mechanical circulatory support devices for univentricular circulation

    The single ventricular circulation is notable for coexisting systemic venous hypertension and pulmonary arterial hypotension. The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices is a viable therapeutic treatment option for patients with congestive heart failure. Ventricular assisted devices, cavopulmonary assisted devices, and total artificial heart pumps continue to gain acceptance as viable treatment strategies for single ventricular physiology patients as bridge-to transplantation, bridge-to-recovery, and longer-term circulatory support alternatives. Patients with single ventricular physiology had the lower survival rates compared with those with biventricular circulation. We present a review of the current and future MCS devices for patients with univentricular circulations.
