A-76 | Hub-and-Spoke Transfer for AMI-Cardiogenic Shock: pLVAD-Supported Transfers Demonstrate Lower Adjusted Mortality With Divergent ECMO/IABP Strata

Key Points

• This research investigates how transfer-in status affects mechanical circulatory support usage and mortality in acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock.
• Utilized a regionalized care system for AMI-CS involving inter-hospital transfers.
• Analyzed differential outcomes based on mechanical circulatory support types like ECMO and IABP.
• Examined adjusted mortality rates for patients receiving pLVAD support during transfers.
• pLVAD-supported transfers show reduced mortality compared to other methods with specific ECMO/IABP stratification.
• Adjusted mortality rates indicate significant differences based on mechanical support used during transfer.
