New cardiogenic shock classifications allow prompt recognition and management of complications of acute coronary syndrome. A 59-year-old man presented after a delayed left anterior descending coronary artery ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions stage E cardiogenic shock and ventricular tachycardia storm. He underwent revascularization of the left anterior descending artery, percutaneous left ventricular assist device bridged to permanent assist device placement, epicardial and endocardial ventricular tachycardia ablation, and iatrogenic closure of an atrial septal defect.

Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is a complex, life-saving procedure that uses mechanical support for patients with refractory cardiac arrest, representing the pinnacle of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) applications. Effective ECPR requires precise patient selection, rapid mobilization of a multidisciplinary team, and skilled cannulation techniques. Establishing a program necessitates a cohesive ECMO system that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, which is essential for managing acute cardiogenic shock and severe pulmonary failure.

The use of temporary left ventricular assist devices (tLVADs) for patients suffering from cardiogenic shock (CS) is becoming more common. This study examines the indications and outcomes of microaxial flow pumps (Impella, Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) when cannulated through the axillary artery in patients with severe CS, with a particular focus on acute phase reactions and hemolytic responses.

: Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a critical condition with high mortality rates despite advances in treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of urinary output at various time intervals during CS and its effectiveness as a predictor of 30-day mortality, particularly in comparison to the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3). : We conducted a retrospective analysis of 96 patients diagnosed with CS, assessing urinary output at different intervals (0-6 h, 6-12 h, 12-24 h, and 0-24 h) as potential predictors of 30-day mortality.

: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, primarily caused by acute thrombosis over atherosclerotic plaques. Simultaneous acute thrombosis in two coronary arteries is an exceptionally rare event. This report highlights a unique case of STEMI associated with cardiogenic shock due to dual coronary artery thrombosis and provides insights from a literature review on this rare condition.
