The field of mechanical circulatory support (MSC) has made tremendous progress in the past 15 years. Thousands of patients worldwide have undergone implantation of long-term MSC devices (MCSDs). Currently, management of patients with MCSDs has been guided by individual clinicians and center-specific protocols. There have been few randomized studies to guide patient selection and care of the MCS patient. Short-term success with MCS therapy largely depends on patient selection, surgical technique, and post-operative management.

Long-term success depends on physician and patient engagement in excellent care of their device and personal health. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) has made a commitment to convene an international and multidisciplinary panel of experts in MCS care.
