ABSTRACT: Background
Trends in temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) use with associated outcomes and cost in cardiogenic shock secondary to decompensated chronic heart failure (HF-CS) remains poorly understood. We describe trends in tMCS use, associated outcomes, and cost in HF-CS.Methods
We included adults enrolled in a national insurance claims dataset with HF-CS who received intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), Impella, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) without acute coronary syndrome, or postcardiotomy shock. We identified predictors of device use, associated outcomes, and inflation-adjusted costs.Results
We studied 2722 HF-CS patients receiving tMCS: 1799 (66%) male, 1771 (65%) White, and 1836 (67%) with ischemic cardiomyopathy. Rate of tMCS use incre
