Abstract
Background— Previous studies showed 75% mortality before hospital discharge in patients with a ventricular assist device (VAD) placed for post–cardiac surgery shock. We examined a large national clinical database to assess trends in the incidence of post–cardiac surgery shock requiring VAD implantation, survival rates, and risk factors for mortality.Keywords
