Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with vs without left ventricular unloading by Impella: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS) may result in left ventricle overload and distension. Percutaneous microaxial flow pump Impella in addition to VA-ECMO (ECPELLA) is an emerging option to overcome these collateral effects. Aim of this study is to assess whether the addition of Impella to VA-ECMO is an effective and safe unloading strategy.
