Fig. 1 Timeline of events. Measurements are performed at designated timepoints outlined as white, light grey, dark grey and black bars on the graph. White indicates no mechanical support, light grey Impella®-support, black IABP-support and dark grey indicates combined support. The dotted bar indicates Impella operating at 1L/min to support the pig during ischaemia and reperfusion. * Time of randomisation. The solid line indicates 45min of ischaemia followed by 30min of reperfusion (dotted line).

Fig. 2 Carotid blood flow as columns indicating mean values in mL/min according to the support device with error bars indicating the standard deviation. Analysed by matched one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Significant differences from the no-support 10min stage are highlighted. Baseline n=13, the other stages n=11.

Fig. 3 Renal blood flow as columns indicating mean values in mL/min according to the support device with error bars indicating the standard deviation. Analysed by matched one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Significant difference from the no-support 10min is highlighted. Baseline n=10, the other stages n=8.
