Prospective Comparison of a Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device and Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) portends a poor prognosis. Both venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) and a percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) provide hemodynamic support for patients with CS, but little is known about the...
