ABSTRACT
Impella 2.5 is a miniaturized percutaneously inserted left ventricular assist device [LVAD] that can be placed via a retrograde approach across the aortic valve using a femoral arterial access. It helps in reducing the cardiac workload and provides circulatory assistance and protection to the myocardium and vital organs in patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It has been used in patients with heart failure, cardiogenic shock [CS], and high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous intervention [PCI].We report here our experience using an Impella 2.5 catheter in a patient with high-risk percutaneous intervention [PCI]
