Impella Versus Intra?Aortic Balloon Pump in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Treated With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: An Observational Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundVenoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) is increasingly used for patients with cardiogenic shock. The proportion of patients receiving Impella significantly increased from 2016 to 2020 (6.5% ConclusionsIn patients with cardiogenic shock on VA‐ECMO, LVU with Impella, particularly with 2.5/CP,

Abstract 4146823: Trends and Outcomes in Heart Failure Admissions and Cardiogenic Shock Among Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

Circulation

CHD admissions remained stable from 2016 to 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients. Variations in cardiogenic shock, MCS usage, and cardiac transplants emphasize the need for adaptive clinical practices to optimize patient outcomes.
