Description
Summary:Abstract The present article is the first official report of ESPAMACS (Spanish Registry for Mechanical Circulatory Support) and summarises the registry activity from when it began operating in October 2014–May 2016. During this period, 369 mechanical circulatory support devices, implanted in 18 different centres of our country have been registered, 319 for short-term support (86.4%), and 50 for long-term support (13.6%). An analysis is presented of the profile of the assisted patients (demographic data, comorbidities, underlying disease, grade of heart failure), type of implanted devices, indications, surgical data and outcomes (post-operative outcome, duration of support, level of achieving objectives, adverse events, survival, and causes of death).
