Mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation are established surgical options for advanced heart failure treatment. This review summarizes recent advances in surgical treatment options for advanced heart failure and proposes an algorithm for patients over 65 years old.
Mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation are established surgical options for treatment of advanced heart failure. Since the prevalence of advanced heart failure is progressively increasing, there is a clear need to treat more patients with mechanical circulatory support and to increase the number of heart transplantations. This narrative review summarizes recent progress in surgical treatment options of advanced heart failure and proposes an algorithm for treatment of the advanced heart failure patient at >65 years of age.
