“…Mechanical circulatory assistance, in the form of left-ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been shown to facilitate recov ery of noncontractile but viable or 'stunned' myocardium in the setting of cardiogenic shock in experimental animals [1][2][3][4]. A vari ety of LVADs have been successfully used in the treatment of postcardiotomy shock [5][6][7][8][9], If practical device were available to provide mechanical circulatory assistance a large number of patients with acute myocardial in farction, cardiogenic shock, and those need ing assistance during cardiac interventional procedures could benefit.…”

The Hemopump^TM is a catheter-mounted mechanical circulatory assist device which can support the majority of the circulation and significantly reduce left-ventricular work. It can be introduced via a peripheral artery or the ascending aorta. The following is an overview of the operation of the Hemopump and the results of a clinical trial in which the Hemopump was used to treat cardiogenic shock. In addition, the results of pilot experiences using the Hemopump for circulatory support during aorto-coronary artery surgery and high-risk angioplasty will be discussed.
