INTRODUCTION Definition - M echanical C irculatory S upport (MCS) Devices are mechanical pumps designed to assist or replace the function of either the left or the right ventricle or both ventricles of the heart .
EVOLUTION
INDICATIONS
CHARACTERISTICS OF MCS DEVICES Location of the pumping chamber Specific ventricle/s supported Pumping mechanism Indicated duration of support-temporary/long term
TERMINOLOGY PUMP LOCATION Extracorporeal- Outside the body Paracorporeal - Outside but adjacent to body Intracorporeal - Implanted within the body Orthotopic - In the normal position of heart
TERMINOLOGY INTENDED USE Short term: days to week Long term: months to year
TERMINOLOGY PUMP MECHANISM Pulsatile flow Continuous flow rotary pump with axial design Continuous flow rotary pump with centrifugal design
TEMPORARY DEVICES
IABP- Intra Aortic Balloon Counter Pulsation PUMP MECHANISM COUNTERPULSATION ENERGY SOURCE PNEUMATIC METHOD OF PLACEMENT PERCUTANEOUS OR OPERATIVE VENTRICLE SUPPORTED LV DEGREE OF SUPPORT PARTIAL
MECHANISM Inflation at aortic valve closure: Increases aortic diastolic blood pressure Increases diastolic coronary perfusion Net neutral effect on cerebral perfusion Increases C.O./“runoff” to subdiaphragmatic organs Deflation prior to systole: Reduces impedance to LV ejection (afterload) Reduces myocardial oxygen consumption
A = One complete cardiac cycle B = Unassisted aortic end diastolic pressure C = Unassisted systolic pressure D = Diastolic Augmentation E = Reduced aortic end diastolic pressure F = Reduced systolic pressure
INDICATIONS OF IABP Cardiogenic shock complicating AMI Prior to high risk PCI Prior to high risk CABG Severe acute MR Ventricular septal rupture Rescue after failed PCI going to CABG Bridge to VAD in patients awaiting transplant
Study Population Inclusion Endpoints Results TACTICS 2005 57 AMI patients with CS status post- fibrinolytic therapy All-cause mortality at 6 months 1. 43% of the fibrinolysis-only group had died versus 34% of the fibrinolysis–IABP group (P=0.23) 2. Patients with Killip class >II, 6-month mortality was 80% Vs 39% ( P=0.05). Agreed with the Class I C recommendation that IABP be considered for “ cardiogenic shock not quickly reversed with pharmacological therapy as a stabilizing measure for angiography and prompt revascularization”(AHA 1999)
Study Population Inclusion Endpoints Results Prondzinsky et al 2010 45 AMI patients with CS S/P primary PCI Change in APACHE II scores over 4 days Inflammatory markers, brain natriuretic peptide levels, hemodynamic values, and in-hospital mortality BNP levels were lower in patients receiving IABP therapy In-hospital mortality was similar (38.6% versus 28.6%; P =ns).
Study Population Inclusion Endpoints Results IABP-SHOCK II 2012 600 AMI patients with CS of <12 hours duration 30-day mortality 39.7% in the IABP group versus 41.3% in the optimal medical therapy group; P =0.69 )
ACC/AHA 2013 [ESC 2012- IIb ] IIa - IABP can be useful for patients with cardiogenic shock after STEMI who do not quickly stabilise with pharmacoinvasive therapy.
ESC-2014 Guidelines IABP insertion should be considered in patients with hemodynamic instability/cardiogenic shock due to mechanical complications IIa C Routine use of IABP in patients with cardiogenic shock is not recommended III A
Mortality in the IABP and the control group (66.3% versus 67.0 %; P =0.98 ). There were also no differences in recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat revascularization, or rehospitalization for cardiac reasons (all P >0.05 ). 2018
IABP as BTT N= 32 IABP therapy (BTT) Vs 135 Electively transplanted patients 80% - S urvived to transplant without additional MCS Mortality at 1 year -9.4 % versus 11.1%; ( P =0.80 )
N = 88 patients with end-stage heart failure Axillary– subclavian IABP therapy. Survival to recovery, transplantation, or durable mechanical support- 93.2% Access site complications - 9.1%
IMPELLA PUMP MECHANISM CONTINUOUS FLOW ROTARY PUMP ENERGY SOURCE ELECTRIC METHOD OF PLACEMENT PERCUTANEOUS OR OPERATIVE VENTRICLE SUPPORTED LV / RV DEGREE OF SUPPORT PARTIAL
Advantages Does not require EKG or arterial waveform triggering Facilitates stability even in the setting of tachyarrhythmias or electromechanical disassociation
Disadvantages Risk of device migration Device malfunction because of thrombosis Hemolysis Bleeding requiring transfusion Arrhythmias Limb ischemia Tamponade , aortic or mitral valve injury , and stroke.

IMPRESS TRIAL N = 48 AMI patients with CS Impella CP Vs IABP therapy Device placement - either prior to PCI, during PCI, or immediately after PCI. 30 day mortality - Similar (50% - Impella CP or 46% -IABP therapy , P =0.92) Six-month mortality - 50 % in both groups
