Why the study?
What are the technical success and complication rates of Impella-assisted CTO PCI?
What are the technical success and complication rates of Impella-assisted CTO PCI?
Impella-assisted CTO PCI achieves high technical success but requires careful patient selection due to periprocedural complications.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports selective Impella use in complex CTO PCI; leaves open optimal selection and safety confirmation in randomized trials.
Impella-assisted CTO PCI can be performed with high technical success rates. However, assiduous attention to appropriate case selection is critical, given the periprocedural complication rates reported in this patient population.
