University of Nebraska at Omaha 2 articles published in JoVE Medicine Utilizing Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Devices in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock Shuktika Nandkeolyar1, Poonam Velagapudi2, Mir B. Basir3, Aditya S. Bharadwaj1 1Division of Cardiology, Loma Linda University Medical Center, 2Division of Cardiology, University of Nebraska, 3Division of Cardiology, Henry Ford Health System Percutaneous ventricular assist devices are increasingly being utilized in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Herein, we discuss the mechanism of action and hemodynamic effects of such devices. We also review algorithms and best practices for the implantation, management and weaning of these complex devices.
