Outcomes of Impella CP insertion during cardiac arrest: A single center experience.

Objectives: We sought to determine the outcomes of patients with an Impella CP percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device deployed during a cardiac arrest.

Background: The Impella CP device is indicated for left ventricular support in patients with cardiogenic shock. The utility of percutaneous MCS in the setting of cardiac arrest during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains unclear.
