Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute decompensated heart failure are the leading causes, with mortality remaining high despite advances in revascularization and supportive care. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) classification allows risk stratification and guides clinical decision making by capturing the spectrum of shock severity. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) devices, such as the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella, aim to stabilize hemodynamics by augmenting cardiac output and unloading the left ventricle. However, randomized trials and meta-analyses have not demonstrated a consistent survival advantage of Impella over IABP, while reporting higher rates of bleeding and vascular complications. Landmark trials, including ECLS-SHOCK and DanGer, have provided conflicting results, likely reflecting differences in baseline severity and timing of device implantation. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (VA-ECMO) offers full cardiopulmonary support but increases left ventricular afterload, potentially worsening myocardial injury. Combined strategies such as ECPELLA (Impella + VA-ECMO) or ECMO + IABP may mitigate left ventricle (LV) overload and improve bridging to recovery or advanced therapies, although evidence remains largely observational and complication rates are considerable. In right-sided or biventricular failure, tailored options (e.g., Impella RP, Bi-Pella) guided by invasive hemodynamics may be required. Current evidence suggests that pMCS benefits are limited to carefully selected subgroups, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis, prompt referral, and individualized intervention. Robust randomized data are still needed to define the optimal role of pMCS in AMI-related CS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14217731","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,31]],"date-time":"2025-10-31T05:28:43Z","timestamp":1761888523000},"page":"7731","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices in Cardiogenic Shock: A Narrative Review in Light of Recent Evidence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0758-6575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Paragliola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, School of Medicine and Surgery, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-6004-7103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Gamardella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, School of Medicine and Surgery, Universit\u00e0 Vita-Salute San Raffaele, 20132 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Franchin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5727-4107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maurizio","family":"Bertaina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Colombo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Zanini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Colangelo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierluigi","family":"Sbarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Boccuzzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0571-3918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Iannaccone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Giovanni Bosco Hub Emergency Hospital, ASL Citt\u00e0 di Torino, 10154 Turin, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e232","article-title":"Contemporary Management of Cardiogenic Shock: A Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association","volume":"136","author":"Diepen","year":"2017","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1113","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064527","article-title":"Standardized Definitions for Cardiogenic Shock Research and Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices: Scientific Expert Panel from the Shock Academic Research Consortium (SHARC)","volume":"148","author":"Waksman","year":"2023","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3472","DOI":"10.1002\/ehf2.14510","article-title":"Differences between cardiogenic shock related to acute decompensated heart failure and acute myocardial infarction","volume":"10","author":"Bertaina","year":"2023","journal-title":"ESC Heart Fail."},{"key":"ref_4","first-page":"22","article-title":"SCAI stage reclassification at 24 h predicts outcome of cardiogenic shock: Insights from the Altshock-2 registry","volume":"101","author":"Morici","year":"2023","journal-title":"Catheter.
