There are various types of MCS, and patients with CS typically require devices that are either short-term (< 15 days) or intermediate-term (15-30 days). When choosing the device the underlying cause of CS, as well as the presence or absence of concomitant conditions such as failed ventricle, respiratory failure, and the intended purpose of the support should be taken into consideration.
