Perforation of the left ventricle related to microaxial ventricular assist devices (Impella) is a rare but fatal complication related to placement or adjustment. It results in left ventricular hemorrhage and tamponade, leading to rapid deterioration and death. We present a case report of a 73-year-old man who developed this complication postoperatively and was successfully managed to a full recovery. To our knowledge, he is the only reported patient to have this complication outside the setting of immediate placement who subsequently survived to discharge.
与微轴心室辅助装置（Impella）相关的左心室穿孔是一种与装置放置或调整相关的罕见但致命的并发症。它会导致左心室出血和心包填塞，进而迅速恶化并导致死亡。我们报告一例73岁男性患者，其术后发生了这种并发症，并成功治愈，完全康复。据我们所知，他是唯一报告的在非即刻放置装置情况下发生此并发症且随后存活至出院的患者。
