ABSTRACT
The use of temporary mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock (CS) is increasing. The Impella (Abiomed) is a percutaneous, microaxial ventricular assist device approved for short-term use in CS that can be implanted peripherally. Direct aortic placement is an alternative commonly performed when the sternum is open, for example, in post-cardiotomy shock or when the peripheral vasculature is of insufficient size or quality for implantation. Herein, we describe direct aortic implantation of the Impella 5.5 via right mini-thoracotomy for a patient in CS secondary to decompensated heart failure as a bridge to candidacy and, ultimately, transplantation.
