What is Left Ventricle Unloading, Coronary Artery Oxygenation, or Both? about?
We thank Dr. Inamura for his precious comments. We agree a possible "watershed" phenomenon may occur with the combined Impella and Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator (VA-ECMO) implantation, although no sign of Harlequin syndrome was detected in our patient. Few data currently guide the choice of mechanical support in acute myocardial infarction related cardiogenic shock. The positive effect on myocardial recovery with the Impella is mostly related to left ventricular "unloading effect". As shown in pre-clinical models [1-3] and in a pivotal study [4], the "unloading" may activate a cardioprotective cytokine program that reduces myocardial damage after delayed reperfusion. Increase of oxygen supply to myocardial tissue could Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine xxx (xxxx) xxx
