The role of different mechanical circulatory support devices and their timing of implantation on myocardial damage and mid ‐term recovery in acute myocardial infarction related cardiogenic shock

ConclusionsCardiac unloading with IMPELLA in ACS ‐CS, especially if implanted before PCI, might provide lower myocardial damage and improved myocardial recovery which translates into significantly higher LVEF at 6 months.
