Does multi-vessel Impella-protected PCI improve left ventricle function recovery in patients with extensive CAD and severe LV dysfunction?
Impella-protected multi-vessel PCI may facilitate left ventricular contractile recovery in patients with extensive CAD and severe LV dysfunction.
In patients with extensive CAD and severe LV dysfunction, multi-vessel Impella-protected PCI was associated to an appreciable contractile recovery, mainly determined by regional wall motion improvement in revascularized segments.
Romagnoli et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
