Introduction: The impact of Impella and ECMO (ECPELLA) in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains to be defined. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the benefit of ECPELLA compared to VA-ECMO in patients with non post-pericardiotomy CS. Methods: All studies reporting short term outcomes of ECpella or VA ECMO in non post-pericardiotomy CS were...

Background: The clinical value of high-risk coronary plaque characteristics (CPCs) to inform intensified medical therapy or revascularization of non–flow-limiting lesions remains uncertain. Objectives: The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to study the prognostic impact of CPCs on patient-level and lesion-level major...
