Pitsis AA et al. – The progressively expanding role of MCS in the treatment of heart failure is not reflected in the existing guidelines. Being reserved for refractory heart failure, MCS has been applied to the sickest patients who were less amenable to randomization. This explains the lack of robust evidence, but also highlights the value of the progressively improving results. The anticipated wider application of MCS should be better defined, systematically recorded, and guided.
