Impella CP or VA-ECMO in profound cardiogenic shock: left ventricular unloading and organ perfusion in a large animal model.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the Impella CP over veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and their impact on left ventricular unloading and end-organ perfusion. ⋯ In this porcine model of profound CS, Impella CP unloaded the left ventricle compared to VA-ECMO. Both devices improved end-organ perfusion, with a tendency towards higher venous oxygen saturations on VA-ECMO.
