Here, we report a case of successful complete resection of a cardiac sarcoma infiltrating the right atrio-ventricle, tricuspid valve and right coronary artery.Background The objective of the present study was to characterize practical utilization trends and outcomes for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pVAD) in cardiogenic shock at a national level. Methods An analysis of all adult patients admitted non-electively for cardiogenic shock from January 2008 through December 2017 was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Trends of inpatient IABP and pVAD use were analyzed using survey weighted estimates and the modified Cochran-Armitage test for significance. Multivariable regression models and inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTW) were used to perform risk-adjusted analyses of pVAD mortality a composite of adverse events (AE), and resource utilization, with IABP as reference. Results Of an estimated 774,310 patients admitted with cardiogenic shock, 143,051received a device IABP= 127,792 (16.5%) or pVAD=15,259 (2.0%). The usage of IABP decreased (23.8 to 12.7%, p-for-trend less then 0.001), while pVAD implantation increased significantly during the study period (0.2 to 4.5%, p-for-trend less then 0.001). IPTW demonstrated significantly higher odds of mortality with pVAD (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.7-2.2), but not AE (OR 1.1 95% CI 0.96-1.27) compared to IABP. After risk-adjustment, pVAD use was associated with an additional $15,202 (P less then 0.001) for survivors and $29,643 for non-survivors (P less then 0.001). Conclusions Over the study period, the rate of pVAD utilization for cardiogenic shock has signific
