9 SURVIVAL % Cardiac failure Respiratory failure 24% Years

10 RISK FACTORS Advancing age Subsystem dysfunction Thoracic aorta operation Reoperation

11 LIKELIHOOD OF WITHDRAWAL Pre-ECMO factors Advancing age Subsystem dysfunction No IABP + On-ECMO factors Complications on ECMO

12 Cumulative Survival Freedom from death of any cause after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation implantation for postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock Follow-up (y) Rastan et al: JTCS: Feb 2010

13 ECMO for PCCS: % 6 month and 1 year survival Risk factors: Age>70, complex operations, diabetes and pre-op CRI Dialysis-65% Reop-60% Stroke- 17% Blood in 48hrs-30 units +/- 26 Rastan etal JTCVS Feb 2010: Heart Center University of Leipzig

14 IMPELLA

15 Impella Technology Peripheral Insertion Platforms Impella 5.0 Impella 2.5 HCS-P M1

16 Impella 2.5 or 5.0 Miniaturized Blood Pump Technology 21 Fr micro-axial pump 9 Fr catheter-based platform Delivers up to L/min blood flow support Minimally Invasive Peripheral Placement 9 Fr catheter-based platform Single peripheral insertion point Femoral Artery Cut-down HCS-P M1

17 Use of Impella Recover 2.5 LVAD in patients with cardiogenic shock or undergoing high risk PCI: Experience of a High Volume Center Vecchio et al Minerva Cardioloangiol patients 6 cardiogenic shock 5 high risk PCI 7 patients had bleeding (5 with shock) Only 2 patients had significant hemodynamic improvement All PCI patients were discharged Only 2 patients in shock were discharged Conclusion : Impella is feasible and safe but may be insufficient in reversing advance cardiogenic shock which, probably, has to be treated with more powerful LVADs

18 Impella Merits Miniturized Percutaneous Support Uni-ventricular Max support : days LV unloading Bleeding Limitations Limb ischemia Infection with longer support times Need for fluoroscopic support for positioning LD : cumbersome technology

19 TandemHeart

20 Left Sided Support

21 Feasibility study of a temporary percutaneous LVAD in cardiac surgery Pitsis et al Ann Thorac Surgery male patients Post cardiotomy unable to wean from CPB Mean duration of support : 88 hrs Weaning rate : 72% Survival to discharge : 54.5 % 1 year survival : 45% 4 year survival : 36.3 % Main complication was bleeding

22 TandemHeart Merits Miniaturized Percutaneous Support Uni-ventricular Bi-ventricular Max support : 3 weeks LV unloading?? Bleeding Hemolysis Limitations Limb ischemia Infection with longer support times Need of X-ray capability for implantation
