Why the study?
Femoral intra-aortic balloon pump limits patient mobility as a bridge to heart transplantation, making subclavian artery access an attractive alternative to preserve mobility.
Does subclavian intra-aortic balloon pump implantation provide a safe and effective bridge to heart transplantation in patients with advanced heart failure?

Does subclavian intra-aortic balloon pump implantation provide a safe and effective bridge to heart transplantation in patients with advanced heart failure?
Subclavian access for intra-aortic balloon pump implantation is a feasible and safe alternative to femoral access as a bridge to heart transplantation, allowing for patient mobilization and hemodynamic optimization.
