Percutaneous LV assist Device

• impella cardiac device
• impella RP for RV support has no oxygenation
• impella helpful links
• titrate down epi to 2 before removing impella?

Tandem Heart

• tandem heart is transseptal LV ECMO
• tandem protek duo is RV Ecmo
• there is always RV dysfunction in LVAD patients
• heartmate cardiac device
• mitral stenosis needs to be fixed first before LVAD?
• PFO and ASD need to be fixed first before LVAD?

ECMO

• ECMO extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
