Trends of cardiac index (CI), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), and blood lactate concentration in a 53-year-old man with cardiogenic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received hemodynamic support with Impella (Case 1). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was carried out after Impella insertion. The CI increased and the PAWP and blood lactate concentration gradually decreased.

After the introduction of Impella, the CI increased and the PAWP and blood lactate concentration gradually decreased (Fig. 1).

Trends of cardiac index (CI), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), and blood lactate concentration in a 68-year-old man with cardiogenic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received hemodynamic support with Impella (Case 2). Impella was established after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation; subsequently, coronary angiography (CAG) was carried out. The CI increased and the PAWP and blood lactate concentration gradually decreased. VA ECMO, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Trends of cardiac index (CI), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), and blood lactate concentration in a 65-year-old man with cardiogenic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who received hemodynamic support with Impella (Case 3). Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was carried out during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); subsequently, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) was switched to Impella. The CI increased and the PAWP and blood lactate concentration gradually decreased. VA ECMO, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
