Apr 8 2024American College of Cardiology Implantation of the Impella CP micro-axial flow pump in the hours after a heart attack significantly increased the rate of survival at six months among people suffering cardiogenic shock , according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology 's Annual Scientific Session.
The Impella CP is a small percutaneous pump placed within the heart's left chamber, where it expels oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body with a flow rate of up to 3.5 liters per minute. Previous trials evaluating the potential benefits of this and other heart pumps for cardiogenic shock have had mixed results.
What was a surprise for us was that the benefit seems to persist beyond 30 days. It's not only that we are saving lives, it looks like we are also saving myocardium so the patients keep surviving, and the survival curves continue to separate beyond the first 30 days." However, the results also showed significantly higher rates of complications among patients who received the heart pump, including bleeding, limb ischemia, renal replacement therapy and sepsis.
Subgroup analyses suggested that patients with very low blood pressure and those with lesions in more than one coronary artery may see a greater benefit from the Impella pump. Møller said that further studies are needed to assess the benefits in more diverse patient populations and to examine how the duration of mechanical support might affect the rate of severe complications and identify opportunities to further optimize practices to minimize complications.
