Protected high risk percutaneous coronary intervention-Impella 5.0 as a single-access technique: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients requiring coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction, with decompensated heart failure and multiple co-morbidities, present a challenging clinical scenario. Addressing such high-risk cases has been a marked increase in the simultaneous support using microaxial flow pump devices, providing a crucial haemodynamic support during procedures.
