Abstract

A 61-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction (MI), cardiogenic shock and Impella CP support underwent emergency coronary artery bypass grafting. Postoperatively venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO) became necessary, followed by Impella 5.0 insertion on 7th postoperative day (POD), addition of right ventricular support by TandemHeart due to inadequate flow of Impella system, which then allowed for va-ECMO weaning. Impella und TandemHeart were removed on 14th POD, 31st POD, respectively. Biventricular decompensation following MI was successfully treated by a sequence of different mechanical circulatory support systems allowing an adaptive weaning strategy.
