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. The primary endpoint was mortality at 30 days. Results Seventeen studies were included, totalling 2811 patients.

Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair for Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPatients with severe mitral regurgitation and cardiogenic shock demonstrate a poor prognosis. The primary outcome was device success and allcause death, while secondary outcomes included myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization rates at 30day and intermediateterm followup.

Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients Without Cardiogenic Shock Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Journal of the American Heart Association

Secondary outcomes included stroke, bleeding, incident dialysis, repeat revascularization, and total health care costs during the index admission and at 30 days. There was no significant association between device type and stroke, bleeding, incident dialysis, and repeat revascularization at any time point (allP>0.05).ConclusionsIn
