Multidisciplinary cardiogenic shock team approach improves the long-term outcomes of patients suffering from refractory cardiogenic shock treated with short-term mechanical circulatory support
Corrected 23 Oct 2026: Measure wording clarified; no values changed.
Authors' conclusion
A multidisciplinary shock team-based decision for STMCS device implantation in rCS is associated with better 1-year survival rates.
