Description
Jerry Fan and five co-authors report the preemptive use of a small heart pump in a woman with peripartum cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock during delivery, in a two thousand twenty-four case report. Managing heart failure around childbirth is a high-stakes multidisciplinary challenge.
Rather than relying on catecholamine drugs, the team placed an Impella CP microaxial flow pump early to unload the left ventricle and support circulation through delivery and recovery. The case illustrates how temporary mechanical support can be planned into delivery care at specialized centers. Anesthesia, maternal-fetal medicine, and cardiac intensive care coordination frame the report's practical lessons.
