1
Assist Devices for the Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock
Ezequiel J Molina, MD Attending Cardiac Surgeon Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Program MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute – Washington Hospital Center Washington, DC I have no relevant financial relationships
2
Background Mortality rate of refractory cardiogenic shock is high
Early initiation of MCS may improve outcomes Avoid progression of MSOF and optimize organ function Potential outcomes: Heart recovery Heart transplantation Temporary or durable LVAD Withdrawal of care and death
3
Ideal Support Device Easy and rapid implementation
Provide robust hemodynamic support Biventricular support when needed Allow pulmonary support Cost effective Multidisciplinary team approach
4
Device Selection Patient status and location
Etiology of cardiogenic shock Technology available at your institution Devices: VA ECMO CentriMag LVAD Durable LVAD

ECMO Outcomes AMI Negi et al, J Invasive Cardiol, 2016
10
ECMO Advantages Allows for minimally invasive
Rapid bedside application Biventricular support Pulmonary support Low initial cost Transport capabilities
11
ECMO Advantages
12
ECMO Disadvantages Labor intensive High cost with prolonged support
Requires anticoagulation LV distension / thrombosis Historically high complication rates Limited duration of support
13
LV Distension Inotropes Minimize vasoconstriction Central cannulation
LV vent insertion LVAD conversion Impella / Tandem Heart
14
CentriMag LVAD
15
CentriMag LVAD Magnetically levitated centrifugal blood pump
Low shear stress of blood components LVAD, RVAD or BiVAD Allows ECMO (oxygenator) Flows up to 10 L/min Optimal LV decompression Bridge to recovery, transplant or long term device
16
Disadvantages of CentriMag LVAD
More expensive than ECMO Requires sternotomy Thromboembolic complications Anticoagulation / Bleeding May select patients with no exit strategy

23
Conclusions Early and rapid recognition of cardiogenic shock
Robust hemodynamic support may improve outcomes ECMO is our first line of therapy for cardiopulmonary support… before MSOF CentriMag LVADs as bridge to recovery, transplantation or durable LVADs Durable LVADs can be successful in selected INTERMACS 1 patients Teamwork and communication at each stage is critical Management guidelines are needed but difficult to develop
