Percutaneous insertion of an intravascular microaxial ventricular assist device, into the left ventricle only, by arteriotomy, including all associated intraoperative imaging performed by the same practitioner, if: (a) the patient has deteriorating symptoms of cardiogenic shock (with no evidence of significant anoxic neurological injury) that are not controlled by optimal medical therapy; or (b) the patient: (i) is on veno‑arterial extra‑corporeal membrane oxygenation, for deteriorating symptoms of cardiogenic shock (with no evidence of significant anoxic neurological injury) that are not controlled by optimal medical therapy; and (ii) due to the effects of established veno‑arterial extra‑corporeal membrane oxygenation, requires unloading of the left ventricle (H) (Anaes.)
