TL;DR

It is suggested that ECMO can stabilize the condition of these high-risk patients, and bridging to LVAD can relieve the pressure on the donor heart and improve prognosis.

Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Cardiac Surgery: Protected Cardiac Surgery Concept

This review describes three clinical scenarios: preoperative stabilization and bridge-to-surgery, planned intraoperative support in patients at high risk of perioperative low cardiac output, and rescue support for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass or postoperative heart failure.

ECMO for out of hospital refractory cardiac arrest in children: a retrospective multicenter analysis of a regional care program

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a lifesaving technology that has been widely described for in-hospital cardiac arrest in children with underlying cardiac disease. However, data regarding its use for pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remain scarce....

276 Days of Support by a Micro-Axial Left Ventricular Assist Device as a Bridge to Heart Transplant.

The Impella 5.5 is a surgically implanted micro-axial left ventricular assist device (LVAD) increasingly utilized for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in cardiogenic shock. While typically used for acute support up to FDA-approved 14 days, reports of prolonged utilization remain limited. We present the case of a 69...

Non-Cardiac Surgery After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Perioperative Management and Outcomes from a Single Center

As survival after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation improves, an increasing number of patients require non-cardiac surgery (NCS) during follow-up. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and perioperative management of LVAD recipients undergoing NCS and to compare outcomes between ele...

Impella 5.0/5.5-Assisted Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery in Patients with Severely Impaired Left Ventricular Function: A Single-Center Descriptive Feasibility and Safety Study

Patients with severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) undergoing surgical coronary revascularization face elevated perioperative risk. We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery under prophylactic Impella 5.0/5.5 support at a si...

Long-term Mortality and Shock-rate in Patients Surviving Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest with and without early implantation of an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator.

INTRODUCTION In patients who survive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), guidelines for implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are not unequivocal. METHODS Patients resuscitated from OHCA of cardiac cause, without a reversible cause and an expected survival >1 year were identified (year 20...
