PD Schmack (Essen, Germany) explained that Impella can also give support in other indications than CS, e.g. in structural heart disease of mitral regurgitation, due to the overestimation of LV function.

Prof. Potapov from Berlin (Germany) highlighted the upgrade of the ESC guidelines of temporary MCS from IIb to IIa, whereas IABP is not recommended any more.
