Brief Summary
Prospective, multi-center, randomized (1:1), controlled trial of Impella for active left ventricular unloading on top of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation vs. veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation alone for the treatment of cardiogenic shock.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Severe cardiogenic shock due to severe left ventricular dysfunction:
- Systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or need for catecholamines to maintain such blood pressure
- Signs of impaired organ perfusion with at least one of the following: altered mental status OR cold, clammy skin OR oliguria with urine output \<30 ml/h
- Arterial lactate \>5 mmol/l
You may not qualify if:
- Post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock.
- Cardiogenic shock due to acute rejection in heart transplant recipients.
- Obstructive cardiogenic shock (e.g. cardiogenic shock due to fulminant pulmonary embolism)
- Cardiogenic shock due to other causes (e.g. bleeding, hypothermia)
- Pre-existing Impella treatment.
- Onset of shock \>12 hours.
- Mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction.
- Prolonged resuscitation (\>60 minutes).
- Severe peripheral artery disease with infeasibility for Impella or veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation implantation.
- Age \<18 or \>80 years.
- Other severe concomitant disease with life expectancy \<6 months.
- Participation in another trial with an intervention or pregnancy.
