| Popis: | Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasingly applied to patients with severely depressed left ventricular function and complex coronary lesions. The availability of hemodynamic support devices offers a promising option to reduce PCI–related complications in high–risk procedures. We report the case of a 79–year–old man who suffered from unstable angina. The coronary angiogram revealed multivessel disease including a significant distal left main (LM) stenosis. Additionally, the patient had a history of chronic lymphatic leukemia with immune hemolysis. Therefore, the patient was considered to be at exceptionally high mortality risk in case of cardiac surgery. We decided to perform a percutaneous revascularization of the LM supported by the Impella® Recover LP 2.5 assist device. This case report discusses the principles of indications, technique and complications of this new addition to interventional cardiolgogy. |
