Die zunehmende Alterung der Gesellschaft stellt die Medizin vor etliche Probleme. Eines davon ist die steigende Zahl an Patienten mit akutem Herzversagen sowie terminaler Herzinsuffizienz. Bei deren Therapie nimmt die mechanische Kreislaufunterstützung mittlerweile eine bedeutende Stellung ein. Doch trotz immenser Fortschritte ist die Implantation der Kunstherzsysteme noch immer mit erheblicher Morbidität und Letalität verbunden. So zeigen Krabatsch und Kollegen im ersten Topthemabeitrag die technischen Möglichkeiten aber auch die Grenzen der mechanischen Kreislaufunterstützung auf. Trotz kontinuierlich weiterentwickelter und verbesserter Geräte ist noch immer der rechtzeitige Implantationszeitpunkt entscheidend. Im zweiten Topthemabeitrag erläutert Steffen Rex Strategien zur Einschätzung des perioperativen Risikos sowie zur Prävention und Therapie typischer postoperativer Komplikationen. Dabei ist vor allem das Rechtsherzversagen zu nennen. Abschließend gibt Ares Menon einen Überblick zu aktuellen Erfolgen und Risiken der mechanischen Kreislaufunterstützung. Seite 412.
