Key result
Mechanical ventricular assistance in post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock is linked to ~25% survival to discharge.
Why the study?
An established database of mechanical circulatory assistance for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock enables ongoing evaluation of device outcomes and characteristics.

Population
1,279 patients with post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock and 96 with acute myocardial infarction receiving mechanical ventricular assistance
Comparison
Centrifugal pump versus pneumatically supported devices
Design
Voluntary submission observational registry
Follow-up
Until hospital discharge

What are the weaning and survival rates for patients receiving mechanical ventricular assistance for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock and acute myocardial infarction?
Mechanical ventricular assistance provides a viable salvage strategy for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock, achieving a 25% survival to discharge rate.
Mehta et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock and acute myocardial infarction (n=1,375). Mechanical ventricular assistance was evaluated on Survival to discharge (post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock). Mechanical ventricular assistance for post cardiotomy cardiogenic shock resulted in 45% of patients being weaned from support and 25% surviving to discharge.
