Background: Acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS) is a severe complication associated with exceedingly high mortality rates. While mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has emerged as a potential intervention, the evidence base for independent MCS use remains weak. In contrast, systematic reviews of observational studies have revealed significant mortality reduction when a combination of MCS was used: VA-ECMO in conjunction with a left ventricular (LV) unloading device (Impella or IABP).

Background: Venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a vital mechanical circulatory support for treating patients with refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). VA-ECMO can improve end-organ perfusion; however, it increases left ventricular (LV) afterload, resulting in further myocardial damage. ECPELLA, a combination of VA-ECMO and Impella (Abiomed Inc.

Background: The combined therapy with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and Impella (ECPella) has been shown to improve survival in acute cardiogenic shock (CS) in adult patient. Only three paediatric cases have been reported in a multicentre study.
Case Summary: We present our case, the first described to our knowledge in the UK, of a 15-year-old adolescent of Afro-Caribbean descent, weight 75 kg, who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) and ECPella implantation.

Background: The mortality rate of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) combined with Impella (ECPELLA) support remains high. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) improves right ventricular (RV) function, resulting in increased Impella flow, which may facilitate early withdrawal of VA-ECMO and improve survival. This study investigated the prognostic impact of iNO therapy in ECPELLA patients.
