A case of left ventricular free wall rupture after insertion of an IMPELLA® left ventricular assist device diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography [PDF]
Background The IMPELLA® is a minimally invasive left ventricular assist device. We report a case in which transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was useful in diagnosis of left ventricular rupture after IMPELLA® insertion. Case presentation A 75-year-old

Trends in Veno‐Arterial Extracorporeal Life Support With and Without an Impella or Intra‐Aortic Balloon Pump for Cardiogenic Shock [PDF]
Background Mechanical circulatory support devices, such as the intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella, are often used in patients on veno‐arterial extracorporeal life support (VA‐ECLS) with cardiogenic shock despite limited supporting clinical ...

A Review of Bleeding Risk with Impella-Supported High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
Complex, high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) is increasingly being performed, often with mechanical circulatory support (MCS), though to date, there are limited randomised data on the efficacy of MCS for HR-PCI.

Influence of Timing and Predicted Risk on Mortality in Impella-Treated Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock Patients [PDF]
Background: In-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) remains high. The only adequately powered randomized trial showed no benefit of routine use of the intra-aortic balloon pump in AMI-CS.

Clinical outcomes and predictors of success with Impella weaning in cardiogenic shock: a single-center experience [PDF]
IntroductionCardiogenic shock (CS) is a severe syndrome with poor prognosis. Short-term mechanical circulatory support with Impella devices has emerged as an increasingly therapeutic option, unloading the failing left ventricle (LV) and improving ...

Impella versus IABP in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock [PDF]
Objective We investigated the benefit of Impella, a modern percutaneous mechanical support (pMCS) device, versus former standard intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS).Methods This single ...

Thrompella: Acute Impella Thrombosis During Ecpella Support [PDF]
We present a case of acute Impella thrombosis during Ecpella support in a 48-year-old man listed for a heart transplant. After two weeks of Ecpella support, echocardiography revealed a 2.6 x 1.1 cm mobile thrombus attached to the Impella inlet (Video ...
