Workshop Description: This workshop is part of a new 6-hour interventional cardiology learning track entitled CAIC-ACCI@CCC2025 to be held on Friday October 24, 2025. The purpose of this hour of programming is to highlight recent changes to guidelines regarding the use of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock, to stress the importance of multidisciplinary decision making when managing shock patients, to guide clinicians on appropriate selection and use of MCS devices, and to focus on recognizing and managing unexpected complications related to vascular access and MCS devices.
