ECPELLA: Beyond a Left Ventricular Venting Strategy When to Unload the Left Ventricle and How to Decide

Abstract Left ventricular (LV) unloading has been shown to improve survival for patients requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) support for cardiogenic shock. A mortality benefit has been shown..

Impella as unloading strategy during VA-ECMO: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used as mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock (CS). It restores peripheral perfusion, at the expense of increased left ventricle (LV) afterload. In..
