Impellent impeller—Switching intra‐aortic balloon pump to IMPELLA‐CP after ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction and refractory cardiogenic shock

Abstract Cardiogenic shock is a dreadful complication of myocardial infarction. Despite widespread use and availability, intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) does not reduce mortality nor improves outcomes. Advanced mechanical circulatory support with IMPELLA system can substantially support hemodynamic...
