Abstract:Background and purpose
From the various mechanical cardiac assist devices and indications available, use of the percutaneous intraventricular Impella CP pump is usually restricted to acute ischemic shock or prophylactic indications in high-risk interventions. In the present study, we investigated clinical usefulness of the Impella CP device in patients with non-ischemic cardiogenic shock as compared to acute ischemia.
