Abstract
Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition characterized by a state of inadequate systemic tissue perfusion caused by cardiac dysfunction. When to implement, change, or remove the use of a temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) in patients with CS is dependent on the aetiology and severity. Here, patient scenarios underlying the need to escalate, de-escalate, wean, or bridge from tMCS devices are taken into consideration by interdisciplinary heart failure and CS teams. This includes a comprehensive review of and focus on the rationale for specific device escalation and de-escalation strategies, device selection, and general management.
