Abstract 11115: Impella Preserves Systemic, Coronary, and Cerebral Blood Flows During Ventricular Fibrillation by Establishing the Acute Fontan Circulation
Abstract:Introduction:
The ventricular fibrillation (VF) often occurs in acute heart failure patients with Impella support, percutaneous transvalvular left ventricular assist device. Although Impella can preserve blood pressure in some VF patients, the hemodynamic mechanism of Impella during VF remains unclear.
Aim:
In this study, we examined the impact of Impella on hemodynamics and cerebral and coronary blood flows in a goat model of VF. We also addressed the … Show more
