Severe LM bifurcation, diabetic, EF 35%, surgical turndown. Impella assisted LM-LAD-LCX bifurcation using #DKcrush technique. IVUS guides. The highlight of the case thought was single access! Great case with Omar Hyder. Thank you @jason_wollmuth for showing us this technique!
The use of pulmonary artery catheter in #CardiogenicShock has decreased from 2004-2014, although its use is now associated with improved outcomes, which may reflect better selection of patients or better use of the information to guide therapies. https://t.co/GWc7tbWJPG @HFSA
#SCAI2019@Babar_Basir presentation of #NCSI data with growing prospective data collection of AMICGS best practices using #Impella pre-PCI, RHC guidance & decreasing toxic catecholamines with improved survival & native heart recovery
#NationalCSI results of 171 patients treated with early MCS today @SCAI#SCAI2019 published in @CCIJournal AMICS is the deadliest disease we deal with in the cath lab. STEMI mortality <2% STEMI w/ CS mortality 50% for over the past 2 decades.

Oh yeah...patients are not anecdotes or data. They are people and we support all our hospitals 24x7 with on site and on call support. We track these patients and identify and validate best practices. Our people put patients first and our customers know our dedication.
CGS is hard to randomize. We know. These sites tried & others did not even get IRB approval. Refuse to use Impella w/o RCT?, eliminates ECMO and D2B time and RCT shows IABP does not improve hemodynamics or outcomes. AND ABMD funding CGS RCT in Germany/Denmark-DanGer. AwareRCT?
Abiomed has conducted the most studies in the field of circulatory support. Impella is the most studied VAD in the history of the FDA. Abiomed tracks 95% of commercial patients in IQ database, in cVAD prospective study, and real-time at 40+ hospitals with Impella Connect
