The large vessels and the corresponding blood flow velocities are obtained from phase-contrast MRI sequences.

- The study focused on the effects of Impella malrotation on patients in cardiogenic shock, identifying the malrotation in 36% of cases.
- Findings indicated that those with malrotation experienced significantly worse pulmonary pressures, higher right atrial pressure, and elevated serum lactate levels compared to those without malrotation.
- The conclusions suggest that Impella malrotation leads to suboptimal left ventricular unloading and aggravated pulmonary and right ventricular conditions, though major adverse outcomes did not significantly differ.
