Combined extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and microaxial pump-when left ventricular preload is too low to unload in cardiogenic shock.
Enzo LüsebrinkSteffen MassbergMartin OrbanPublished in: Health science reports (2021)
Novel therapeutic options like ECMO and percutaneous microaxial pumps like Impella CP, 5.0 or the combination of both (ECMELLA), are promising options. Whether these approaches reduce mortality has to be evaluated in urgently needed randomized trials but results will not be available in the next few years.
