Emergency interventions for cardiogenic shock due to decompensated aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain. Methods A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed.

Altshock-2: Early IABP Implantation Does Not Improve Outcomes For HF-CS

American College of Cardiology

Implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) did not improve 60-day survival or bridge to heart replacement (HRT) therapies in patients with heart failure-cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) compared to standard care, according to a study presented during a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.25

Clinical use and impact of mechanical circulatory support for myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock in the Netherlands: a registry-based propensity-matched analysis

Open Heart

Background Despite limited beneficial evidence, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is commonly used in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). MCS was deployed in 516 patients (23.3%), of which the intra-aortic balloon pump was used most frequently (n=253, 49.0%).

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. Although Impella or intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) is frequently used for left ventricular unloading (LVU) during VA‐ECMO treatment, there are limited data on comparative outcomes.

Study on Early Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Placement in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

American College of Cardiology

The goal of the Altshock-2 trial was to evaluate the effect of early intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use vs. standard care on 60-day survival or successful bridging to heart replacement therapies (HRT) in patients with heart failurecardiogenic shock (HF-CS).

TAVR associated with lower in-hospital complications in patients with aortic stenosis and cardiogenic shock

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

A nationwide observational analysis of patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiogenic shock (CS) who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) determined that patients who underwent TAVR had lower in-hospital complications and resource utilization compared with SAVR.
