Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support is an important modality in the management of paediatric patients with circulatory failure. The field of ventricular assist device (VAD) is particularly evolving. We review the currently available and developing VADs in the paediatric population, and the anaesthetic management of patients presenting for VAD implantation and with VADs for non-cardiac surgery.
