Percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) utilization is increasing as the potential applications expand. We report a case of high-risk balloon aortic valvuloplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention using the Impella 2.5 pLVAD in a patient with severely depressed left ventricular function as a bridge to heart transplantation.
随着潜在应用范围的扩大,经皮左心室辅助装置(pLVAD)的使用正在增加。我们报告了一例使用Impella 2.5 pLVAD对左心室功能严重受损的患者进行高危球囊主动脉瓣成形术和经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的病例,该装置作为心脏移植的桥梁。
