Temporary mechanical circulatory support is currently indicated in postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock and if necessary as a bridge to transplantation where no ventricular recovery is expected. Which mechanical support system to employ as a bridge to transplantation remains debatable. Implantable devices presently used are prototypes of proposed permanent devices for the treatment of severe heart failure in patients for whom transplantation is not suitable or available.
目前，临时机械循环支持适用于心脏手术后的心源性休克，必要时可作为预期心室无法恢复情况下的移植过渡手段。选用哪种机械支持系统作为移植过渡手段仍存在争议。目前使用的可植入装置是为不适于或无法进行移植的严重心力衰竭患者设计的永久性装置的原型。
