Abstract

Abstract: Cardiogenic shock is a dreadful complication of myocardial infarction. Despite widespread use and availability, intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) does not reduce mortality nor improves outcomes. Advanced mechanical circulatory support with IMPELLA system can substantially support hemodynamics and improve short‐term prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock.
