Can Myocardial Infarct Size Be Reduced by Mechanically Unloading the Left Ventricle?

Abstract: Great strides have been made in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Improved outcomes and reduced mortality are largely the result of opening the occluded infarct artery as soon as possible and keeping it open. Early reperfusion consistently reduces myocardial infarct size in both experimental animal models and in patients.

“…The goal of an MCS device is to not only generate adequate blood pressure and flow, but to unload the LV. In doing so, myocardial protection and preservation are optimized (41,(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90)(91)(92)(93)(94), and the extent of lung injury is minimized (95)(96)(97). Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) however does not unload the LV (87,94).…”

“…As a result, new mechanical circulatory support devices have been developed for clinical use. These devices support cardiac function by collecting blood from: 1) the LV and delivering it into the ascending aorta ( 135 , 146 , 147 ); or 2) the left atrium and delivering the blood to the femoral artery by centrifugal bypass ( 135 , 148 , 149 , 150 ). Two of these devices are the FDA-approved TandemHeart (left atrial-to-femoral arterial ventricular assist device) (LivaNova PLC, London, United Kingdom) and Impella (Axial flow pump) LV support systems (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, Massachusetts).…”
