Published in: Future cardiology (2020)
Use of short-term mechanical circulatory support pumps for cardiogenic shock, decompensated heart failure and high-risk coronary intervention is growing. The Aortix™ device (Procyrion, TX, USA) is the first axial-flow pump positioned in the aorta and is designed to provide short-term hemodynamic support. This review discusses the field of continuous flow aortic pumps and focuses specifically on emerging preclinical and clinical data supporting the development of these technologies.
