In 2 small randomized clinical trials enrolling about 40 patients each, the Tandemheart was associated with significant improvements in hemodynamic parameters when compared with the IABP [29, 30]. However, without direct left ventricular unloading the Tandemheart increases left ventricular afterload which partially offsets the potential cardiac workload benefits. Other concerns with the TandemHeart are the complications (bleeding and limb ischaemia) and the complex trans‐septal insertion procedure, which have limited its uptake in clinical practice.
