Needs assessment and expected educational outcome

To learn the pathophysiological background of different percutaneous VADs, their indications, and appropriate timing of implantation. Pathophysiology of the different PVADs, their indications, and the appropriate timing in different clinical scenarios will be discussed – i.e cardiogenic shock; STEMI without cardiogenic shock; high risk PCI; and biventricular failure. 

Learning objectives

After watching this webinar, participants will have learned:

• the pathophysiological background of percutaneous VAD;
• the indications of percutaneous VAD in different clinical scenarios; and
• the timing of support.
