Abstract 123: Attitudes and Availability of Palliative Care Within Institutions Providing Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Implantation: A National Survey Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception

Nevertheless, there was less consensus on clinicians’ roles and confidence levels with providing PC following MCSD implantation and at end-of-life versus during the pre-implantation period.Clinical Implications: Findings from this survey can enable cardiovascular clinicians to evaluate how PC involvement impacts care for patients with MCSD; however, metrics to evaluate patient and system outcomes are yet to be...
