Abstract We conducted a meta-analysis of preclinical studies that tested left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy for reducing myocardial infarct size in experimental acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Twenty-six articles were included with a total of 488 experimental animal subjects. The meta-analysis showed that infarct size was significantly decreased by LVAD support compared to control animals (SDM, − 2.19; 95% CI, − 2.70 to − 1.69; P < 0.001). The meta-regression analysis demonstrated a high degree of heterogeneity associated with time from coronary artery occlusion to LVAD support, which correlated positively with infarct size. Subgroup analysis suggested smaller infarct size in LVAD therapies that withdrew blood from left heart than those from right heart. The proportion of left ventricular support relative to total cardiac output was positively correlated with infarct size reduction in Impella studies. Thus, early initiation of LVAD after ischemia and effective left ventricular venting may be important factors to reduce infarct size in AMI. Keywords Infarct size . Ischemia reperfusion injury .

Introduction Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has an annual incidence of approximately 7.29 million episodes worldwide and is a leading cause of death. [1, 2] Guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association for the management of AMI [3] recommend rapid reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery to limit myocardial ischemic injury. Although percutaneous coronary intervention has dramatically decreased acute mortality from AMI [4, 5], the 5-year rate of heart failure development increased by 25% [6] and 1month mortality following AMI remains around 5% [4, 7]. It is also known that every 5% increase in myocardial infarct si
