This multicentre retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness of different microaxial flow pump (mAFP) devices—mainly Impella CP (3.5 L/min) and Impella 5+ (>5 L/min)—used to
This systematic review explores the use of the Impella device in patients with post-infarct ventricular septal defect (VSD) prior to definitive treatment. Analyzing 68
This meta-analysis reviewed four randomized controlled trials (442 patients) to evaluate the use of Impella in managing cardiogenic shock (CS) following acute myocardial infarction
This article examines the efficacy of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems, like veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and Impella devices, in treating cardiogenic
This study explores the efficacy of a novel ECMELLA setup combining veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO) with a micro-axial flow pump in treating cardiogenic
This study analyzes 39,864 patients with infarct-associated cardiogenic shock (AMICS), comparing outcomes between those treated with mechanical circulatory support devices (tMCS) like IABP, Impella,
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of left-ventricular (LV) unloading with Impella, compared to standard venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), during extracorporeal
The rising use of mechanical circulatory support devices, particularly the Impella percutaneous microaxial flow pump, has become increasingly prevalent in cardiovascular practice for various
This review evaluates the use of Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as strategies to stabilize patients with post-infarct ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR)
This paper investigates the synergistic effect of combining the Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) and Impella 2.5 device as mechanical circulatory support in managing cardiogenic
In this review, we present three protocols for anesthesiologists. Firstly, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) aids in cannulation and weaning off inotropes and fluids. Our main
