Impella 5.0 support in severe peripheral vascular disease via iliac artery approach

Innovations (Phila). 2012 Sep-Oct;7(5):379-81. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0b013e31827e3c0b.

Abstract

Impella has been reported to provide hemodynamic support in cardiogenic shock patients, acute myocardial infarction, and high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. We are reporting the case of using iliac artery cut down for Impella 5.0 in a high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention for a patient with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy who was not a surgical candidate.
