Abridge to recovery?Novel use of minimally invasive circulatory support, the talk will touch upon a brief summary of incidences of acute MI and cardiogenic shock and post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock. Identify cardiogenic shock and the use of inotropes and medical support for shock. The discussion will cover short term ventricular assist devices as a ?Bridge to Decision?. Specifically, the talk will deal with the use of the Impella 5.0 micro-axial flow pump and will cover the institution?s experience with Impella ventricular assist device?s various insertion methods and clinical scenarios of its use. The presentation will highlight the importance of early intervention with mechanical circulatory support for shock patients; the ultimate goal being myocardial recovery
