This session explores the comparative outcomes of Impella versus Balloon Pumping. Participants will be able to examine the safety of closure techniques and the critical need for extending closure device use in large bore access in distinct patient scenarios.

Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluation of Impella vs Balloon Pumping
  • Investigate the safety and efficacy of closure techniques
  • Understand the need for extension in closure devices


This breakout is supported by Vivasure Medical


1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (GMT)
Presentations and Discussions
Session 1 — Guidance on MCS Selection

Where Does IABP Stand? – Nicolas Van Mieghem
Ongoing Research With Intravascular Microaxial Blood Pumps – Divaka Perera

Breakout
Escalation & De-Escalation With MCS: A Practical Approach

Presented by: Federico Pappalardo

Overview: 

This session will provide practical treatment strategies and management of MCS in Cardiogenic Shock: starting with a review of the different phenotype of cardiogenic shock stages and the timing of the treatment of vasopressor, Impella and ECMO as standalone or combined. 

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about the different types of cardiogenic shock
  • Discover when to apply vasopressor, Impella and ECMO
  • Explore how to unload ECMO effectively with ECPella to escalate and de-escalate in cardiogenic shock treatment


This breakout is supported by Abiomed
