ABSTRACT
The additional implantation of a micro-axial flow pump (mAFP) in patients receiving extracorporeal life support by a veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) for cardiogenic shock (CS) has gained interest in recent years. Thus far, retrospective propensity score-matched studies, case series, and meta-analyses have consistently shown an improved survival in patients treated with the so-called ECMELLA concept. The pathophysiological context is based on the modification of V-A ECMO-related side effects and the additive benefit of myocardial unloading. From this point of view, knowledge and detection of these pathophysiological mechanisms are of utmost importance to successfully manage mechanical circulatory support in CS. In this article, we describe best practices for the indication of the two devices as well as escalation and de-escalation approaches including implantation and explantation strategies that are key for success.
