This comprehensive review explores the significant advancements in Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy, particularly the evolution from early pulsatile flow systems to cutting-edge
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
The abstract outlines the evolving management of cardiogenic shock, highlighting the transition to using temporary mechanical circulatory support (t-MCS) like IABP, VA-ECMO, Impella, and
We propose the creation of a multipurpose circuit that integrates multiple extracorporeal life support (ECLS) functions to cater to diverse medical needs. This innovative
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can present with significant cardiac dysfunction, including cardiogenic shock. Mechanical circulatory support with an Impella device may be utilized in
