Novel Combination of Impella and Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a Bridge to Full Recovery in Fulminant Myocarditis

Table 1

Changes in hemodynamic parameters following Impella implantation.

Index	Pre-Impella	Post-Impella
MAP (mmHg)	47	66
CVP (mmHg)	14	22
CI (L/min/m^2)	2.9	4.0
SVR (dyn-s-cm^−5)	600	300

All hemodynamic parameters improved in the initial post-implantation period. For the pre-Impella values, the patient was still on multiple vasopressor agents. For the post-Impella values, vasopressors had been nearly titrated off. (MAP: mean arterial pressure, CVP: central venous pressure, CI: cardiac index, SVR: systemic vascular resistance).
