Abstract

Active MCS has been increasingly used for the management of cardiogenic shock in patients with TTS. This observational study could not demonstrate an association with improved mortality with an Impella device, but possibly with an IABP when compared to patients with medical management only. MCS-related complications occurred more frequently in the Impella cohort than in the IABP cohort. Further data are required to confirm results of the present study.
