Left Ventricular Unloading Using Intra-aortic Entrainment Pumping Before Reperfusion Reduces Post-AMI Infarct Size

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Anterior myocardial infarction standard of care prioritizes swift coronary reperfusion. Recent studies show left ventricular (LV) unloading with transvalvular axial flow pumps for 30 minutes before reperfusion (vs immediate reperfusion) decreases 28-day infarct size. Intra-aortic entrainment pumping, using hardware located away from the heart to provide support throughout the cardiac cycle, decreases effective systemic vascular …
