Workshop Description: Cardiogenic Shock remains a condition with unacceptably high in-hospital mortality. Recently there has been increasing interest in the use temporary mechanical circulatory support (t-MCS) for a certain subset of acute myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) using the using the percutaneous microaxial flow pump (mAFP) since the DanGer Shock trial was published. It demonstrated a survival advantage in mAFP use in a specific subset of AMI-CS due to primarily left ventricular pump failure in the absence of prolonged cardiac arrest.
This raises key practical clinical questions of how to best select patients and apply t-MCS optimally to be aligned with the evidence to translate trial data to clinical benefit. This symposium is intended for those who wish to elevate their approach in patient selection and application of recent trial data to real-world cases in Cardiogenic Shock.
