Feasibility and long-term safety of elective Impella-assisted high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot two-centre study

Structured PICO

Is elective Impella-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention feasible and safe in high-risk patients?

Population

High-risk patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention

Intervention

Elective Impella-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention

Outcome

Feasibility and long-term safetysafety

Elective Impella-assisted PCI appears feasible and safe in high-risk patients, warranting further investigation in prospective randomized trials.

Abstract

Our results support the feasibility and safety of Impella-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention in high-risk patients. Prospective randomized trials are needed to test the clinical impact of such an innovative approach.
