RESUMO
Mortality is high in patients with acute coronary failure and cardiogenic shock. The most commonly used device for hemodynamic support is the intra-aortic balloon, which, however, may be insufficient in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. This is a case report of a patient complaining of two days of intense and oppressive chest pain, radiating to the left arm. The ECG showed ST elevation. The patient was submitted to angioplasty and stent implant in the anterior descending artery and developed cardiogenic shock refractory to vasoactive drugs and intra-aortic balloon. Hemodynamic measures were carried out and we chose to use an Impella 2.5 device, by percutaneous route, for circulatory support.

Em pacientes com insuficiência coronariana aguda e choque cardiogênico, a mortalidade é alta. O dispositivo mais utilizado para suporte hemodinâmico é o balão intra-aórtico que, no entanto, pode ser insuficiente em pacientes com choque cardiogênico refratário. Relato de caso com dois dias de dor precordial opressiva e intensa, irradiada para membro superior esquerdo. ECG com supradesnivelamento anterior. Realizado angioplastia e implante de stent na artéria descendente anterior. Evolução com choque cardiogênico refratário ao uso de drogas vasoativas e balão intra-aórtico. Foram realizadas medidas hemodinâmicas e decidiu-se pela colocação do Impella® 2,5 por via percutânea para assistência circulatória.
