Stratifying patients in shock receiving Impella 5.5 may help us understand future trajectories. However, even later stages of shock demonstrate acceptable outcomes in appropriately selected patients. Great job @JLmaigrot
Our experience
@CleClinicHVTI shows that preop SCAI stage in patients w/ Impella 5.5 is associated w/ survival on support & successful transition to LVAD/transplant. Preop triage may improve risk-benefit assessment and exit-strategy planning.
