Acute Hemodynamic and Echocardiographic Consequences of Surgically-Implanted Axial Flow Pumps in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock
Purpose: Surgically implanted axial-flow temporary left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly utilized to support patients with advanced cardiogenic shock. Detailed hemodynamic characterizations following modern device implantation are lacking. We sought to survey the hemodynamic consequences of device implantation in patients supported at our tertiary care heart failure center. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Utilization of ECMO in Peri-Partum and Post-Partum Patients
Purpose: The rate of pregnancy-related deaths in the United States is rising with cardiovascular disease identified as a leading cause of maternal death and morbidity. Recent data shows existing heart conditions as having the highest estimated relative risk associated with adverse maternal pregnancy outcomes and mortality. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a proven life-saving therapy for patients in cardiogenic shock and respiratory failure. There is little data supporting the use of ECMO in pregnant and recently postpartum women. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Propella: Single-Center Experience and Outcomes
Purpose: The use of peripherally inserted concomitant right and left ventricular support (Propella) has been gaining traction in recent years. Scattered case reports have described the use of Propella or ECPELLA 2.0 as an alternative for biventricular support with reduced rates of limb ischemia observed. Our primary objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of Propella for biventricular support during cardiogenic shock at our institution. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Short-Term Outcomes of Patients Presented with Cardiogenic Shock and Treated with the Impella 5.x Mechanical Circulatory Support
Purpose: Outcomes of patients presented with cardiogenic shock is associated with very high morbidities and mortality. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is the first line mechanical circulatory support (MCS) system for such patients. Recently, the use of Impella 5.x as a MCS has gained more adoption in such patients. We are evaluating early outcomes of patients presenting with cardiogenic shock and supported with the Impella 5.x MCS system. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Outcomes Comparison of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support for Cardiogenic Shock with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure versus Acute Myocardial Infarction
Purpose: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are etiologies of cardiogenic shock (CS) with distinct pathophysiology that may impact outcomes on VA-ECMO support. The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of VA-ECMO support between ADHF and AMI. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Role of Acquired Von Willebrand Syndrome in the Development of Bleeding Complications in Patients Treated Using Right Ventricular Microaxial Flow Pump Devices: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Purpose: Axial flow pumps are standard treatment in cases of cardiogenic shock and high-risk interventions in cardiology and cardiac surgery, although the optimal anticoagulation strategy remains unclear. We evaluated whether laboratory findings could predict bleeding complications and acquired von Willebrand syndrome (avWS) among patients who were treated using axial flow pumps.

Impact of Ventricular Interdependence and Frank-Starling Mechanism on V-A ECMO
Purpose: Although venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a mainstay treatment of advanced heart failure and cardiogenic shock, it may be associated with increased left atrial pressure (LAP), left ventricular (LV) distension, thrombus formation and pulmonary oedema. However, the predictors of adverse haemodynamic effects of V-A ECMO in the presence of ventricular interdependence and a Frank-Starling mechanism are unknown.
