ICD-10-CM procedure codes were used to identify and divide patient hospitalizations into those who had preoperative tMCS (pre-tMCS) versus tMCS instituted the day of surgery or afterwards (sd/post-tMCS).<h4>Results</h4>In all, 1,383,520 hospitalizations met inclusion criteria. 86,445 (6.25%) had tMCS. tMCS was utilized in 8.74% of coronary artery bypass gJournal of cardiac surgery4304-4315https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10092004biostudies-literatureCurrent status of perioperative temporary mechanical circulatory support during cardiac surgery.PMC10092004Zieroth SAgarwal RRabkin DGMinhas AMKChung JSMamas MAFudim MAbramov DPatel JfalseCurrent status of perioperative temporary mechanical circulatory support during cardiac surgery.<h4>Objectives</h4>We sought to determine utilization and outcomes of perioperative temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) in the current practice of cardiac surgery.<h4>Background</h4>tMCS is an evolving adjunct to cardiac surgery not fully characterized in contemporary practice.<h4>Methods</h4>Using the nationwide inpatient sample we retrospectively analyzed hospital discharge data between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2019.
