The medical community has used implantable mechanical circulatory support devices at increasing rates for patients dying from heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Newer-generation devices off er a more durable and compact option when compared with bulky early-generation devices. This article is a succinct introduction and overview of the hemodynamic principles and complications after device implantation for ICU clinicians. We review the concepts of device physiology, clinical pearls for perioperative management, and common medical complications after device implantation.
