About this episode

When a heart is weak after a heart attack, cardiac arrest or surgery, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) can help the heart function while it heals or assist patients long-term.  Cleveland Clinic experts discuss MCS devices, specifically the Impella percutaneous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
