Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhages during Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device Cardiac Support
Mechanical circulatory support systems for cardiogenic shock and heart failure are associated with ischemic strokes and intracranial hemorrhages. Impella is a percutaneously placed, ventricular assist device for short-term cardiac support. We aimed to study the prevalence of acute neurologic complications during short-term support with Impella.
