This article discusses the use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (TMCS) as a bridge-to-transplant strategy for patients with cardiogenic shock who require a heart transplant. The study included 296 patients who underwent heart transplant, with 14 of them being on TMCS at the time of transplantation. The TMCS patients had higher rates of postoperative circulatory failure and mortality compared to patients without TMCS. The study highlights the complexity and critical preoperative state of TMCS patients and suggests that while heart transplantation is possible for these patients, their outcomes may be impaired.
