Use of Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support for Management of Cardiogenic Shock Before and After the United Network for Organ Sharing Donor Heart Allocation System Changes [1]

Submitted by mferguson [2] on Thu, 2020-04-16 09:39

The UNOS donor heart allocation system was revised in 2018, giving priority to patients on inpatient mechanical circulatory support (MCS).  Patients admitted with heart failure-associated cardiogenic shock were tracked for the frequency of use of mechanical circulatory support before and after implementation of this change.   In non-transplant centers, there was no change in the frequency of MCS.  In transplant centers, use of MCS increased from 25% to 43%.
