Francesco Burzotta, MD, and Carlo Trani, MD, discuss the long-term outcome of the extent of revascularization in complex, high-risk patients indicated for Protected PCI.
Alexander Truesdell, MD, and Behnam Tehrani, MD, discuss improved outcomes after implementing a cardiogenic shock protocol at Inova Heart and Vascular Institute.
A preponderance of evidence from the FDA cVAD Study, Impella Quality Database and the physician-initiated NSCI study supports the recommendation that placing Impella 2.5® or Impella CP® pre-PCI improves outcomes.
Robert Riley, MD, presents a high-risk PCI case requiring hemodynamic support with the Impella CP® heart pump and intravascular lithotripsy with Shockwave for vascular access.
Three physicians from the Cleveland Clinic discuss strategies for selecting the Impella® heart pump and/or ECMO as well as patient management and venting strategies.
Seth Bilazarian, MD, discusses the limitations of Schrage, Ibrahim, et al. published in Circulation comparing patients in cardiogenic shock treated with balloon pump and the Impella® heart pump.
The NCSI Study is based on adopting the best practices algorithm focused on identifying shock early and unloading using Impella devices before PCI, reducing use of inotropes, and the use of invasive hemodynamic monitoring to aid in escalation and weaning.
The STEMI DTU pilot trial demonstrated for the first time that LV unloading using the Impella CP® heart pump with a 30-minute delay before reperfusion is safe and feasible
The clinical, preclinical, and basic research of A-CURE focuses primarily on the use of the Impella® heart pump, a transvalvular microaxial flow pump, as the means to unload the heart.
