Why the study?

Data were limited on the feasibility of Impella-assisted PCI in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR.

Is Impella-assisted high-risk PCI feasible and safe before TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis?

Population

14 patients with severe symptomatic AS undergoing elective Impella-assisted PCI before TAVR

Comparison

Impella-assisted high-risk PCI before subsequent TAVR

Design

Retrospective single-center study

Follow-up

30-day

Implication

Hypothesis-generating for Impella-assisted PCI in severe AS before TAVR; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Is Impella-assisted high-risk PCI feasible and safe before TAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis?

Population

14 patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis electively admitted for Impella-assisted PCI with a subsequent TAVR, median age 89 years, 43% women.

Intervention

Impella-assisted high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)

Outcome

Feasibility and safety (procedural complications post-TAVR, in-hospital or 30-day death)safety

Elective Impella-assisted high-risk PCI is feasible and safe before TAVR in selected patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Limitations

single-center study
small sample size
