Air embolism can cause the following catastrophic complications that must be avoided: cardiogenic shock (from right heart failure), obstructive shock, myocardial infarction, stroke, RVOT obstructions, and pulmonary embolism. Currently there is a paucity of data on Impella RP use in rare causes of acute right ventricle (RV) failure, especially if caused by air embolism.
We report a case of a patient with acute RV failure due to air embolism who recovered from temporary use of Impella RP.
This case highlights the utility of right-sided mechanical support (MCS) devices for acute RV failure.
空气栓塞可导致以下必须避免的灾难性并发症：心源性休克（由右心衰竭引起）、梗阻性休克、心肌梗死、中风、右心室流出道梗阻和肺栓塞。目前，关于Impella RP在罕见的急性右心室（RV）衰竭病因中的应用数据匮乏，尤其是由空气栓塞引起的情况。
我们报告一例因空气栓塞导致急性RV衰竭的患者，其通过临时使用Impella RP而康复。
该病例突出了右侧机械支持（MCS）装置在急性RV衰竭中的作用。
