    AbstractHeart failure is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Changes in organ allocation for solid thoracic (lung and heart) transplantation has increased the number of patients on mechanical circulatory support. Temporary mechanical support devices include devices tht support the circulation directly or indirectly such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and temporary support for right-sided failure, left-sided failure or biventricular failure. Most often, these devices are placed percutaneously and require either guidance with echocardiography, continuous radiography (fluoroscopy) or both. Furthermore, these devices need imaging in the intensive care unit to confirm continued accurate placement. This review contains the imaging views and nuances of the temporary assist devices (including ECMO) at the time of placement and the complications that can be associated with each individual device.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
