May support Impella use in high-risk PCI with severe AS; leaves open safety confirmation in larger prospective studies.
Is the use of 2.5 L and 3.8 L Impella devices feasible and safe during high-risk PCI in patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular impairment?
Impella support during high-risk PCI in patients with severe aortic stenosis and LV impairment is feasible, though balloon-assisted techniques are often required to cross the stenotic valve.
Spiro et al. (2014) studied this question.
