discuss appropriateness of each of the following

Open repair

Delayed repair: when stenting not available and pt has other severe life threatening injuries.

Q

Compare and contrast “bridge to transplant” to “bridge to recovery”

A

Both instance require use of mechanical assist device to support myocardial function

Bridge to transplant has goal of temporary support until a suitable organ becomes available for transplant versus bridge to recovery which may employ longer support to allow wean from device when pts own myocardium can support the circulation

Bridge to recovery is applied in scenarios where recovery is likely (viral or post cardiotomy stunning) whereas disease processes with no potential for recovery should not be managed this way
