Intraaortic Balloon Pump (IABP) • Developed in late 1960s • Counterpulsation is synchronized to the EKG or arterial waveforms • Increase coronary perfusion • Decrease left ventricular stroke work and myocardial oxygen requirements • Most widely used form of mechanical circulatory support • Indications for its use include • Failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass • Cardiogenic shock after MI • Heart failure • Refractory ventricular arrhythmias with ongoing ischemia
Bridge to bridge: ECMO • Immediately stabilize circulation • Improve end organ perfusion • Overall survival comparable between ECMO + LVAD versus LVAD alone • Clinical indicators of poor outcome after ECMO: consider VAD implantation carefully • Elevated blood lactate levels • Elevated LFTs Pagani et al.

Case #1 • 57 yo male • Transferred to UK for cardiogenic shock secondary to heart failure • Taken to cath lab for emergent IABP placement • EF<10% • Sv02 20s • Maximal inotropic support: 4 pressors • Stabilized on VA-ECMO • Supported for 7 days • Improvement in hepatic and renal dysfunction • Heartmate II implanted
Centrifugal pumps • Acute hemodynamic support • Continuous flow • Extracorporeal • LV, RV or biventricular support • Wide availability • Ease of use • Relatively low cost • Limited duration of support • Bridge to recovery • Bridge to decision Hoy et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2000; 70:1259-63
Tandem hearts • Acute hemodynamic support • Centrifugal pump • Percutaneous placement • LV support via transseptal cannula • Used in high risk cardiac catheterization procedures • Risk of vascular injuries due to cannula size
Levitronix Centrimag • Newer generation • Centifugal pump • Continuous flow • Extracorporeal • Impellar within the pump rotates in contact-free manner • Increased durability • Minimal thrombus formation and hemolysis of RBCs
Abiomed 5000 • Extracorporeal • Pneumatic pulsatile pumps • Uni- or biventricular support • Bridge to transplant • Easy to insert and operate so used in community hospitals • Flows 6L/min Circulation. 2005;112:438-448.
