Impella CP and Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator as a sequential add-on combination circulatory support in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock

Livio Giuliani et al. Cardiovasc Revasc Med. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

A 48-year-old male was admitted to our institution with an anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction and angiographic evidence of a thrombotic occlusion in the ostial segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The percutaneous coronary intervention resulted in "no-reflow" and cardiogenic shock. We describe our successful management strategy with sequentially combined implantation of Impella CP and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator.

Keywords: Acute myocardial infarction; Cardiogenic shock; Complications; ECMO; Impella; Mechanical Circulatory Support; No reflow; Primary PCI; STEMI.
