🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 We’re excited to share our latest publication on the ACTION registry, which houses data on over 1,500 pediatric patients across 48 centers who are receiving mechanical circulatory support. The registry has been vital for research, quality improvement, and supporting regulatory approvals for various devices. While the registry offers a wealth of data, it's crucial to understand its limitations to make informed conclusions. Our report highlights these strengths and suggests areas for improvement to better serve these young patients. This ACTION study was published in the World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery. Congratulations to the authors! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4a8Qkf9. #PedsVAD #PedsHF
