Circulatory support for shock complicating myocardial infarction

We discuss a patient with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and hemodynamic support with a new short-term percutaneously inserted device, the Impella CP (Abiomed). We also review the evidence for mechanical circulat...

Description
Summary:We discuss a patient with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention and hemodynamic support with a new short-term percutaneously inserted device, the Impella CP (Abiomed). We also review the evidence for mechanical circulatory support and management strategies in patients with AMI-CS.
