Frisoli et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Post-TAVI bilateral coronary obstruction (n=1). Impella percutaneous mechanical circulatory support was evaluated. Emergent deployment of Impella mechanical circulatory support successfully restored hemodynamic stability and facilitated definitive treatment with bilateral PCI for post-TAVI coronary obstruction.
