EAPCI/ACVC — Temporary mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock: EAPCI/ACVC clinical consensus statement
EAPCI/ACVC, 2026
Select support by physiology, recovery/bridge goals and expert-center capability; prevent device complications and plan exit/weaning from initiation. Evidence does not justify routine MCS for every shock phenotype; many weaning practices are expert consensus.
