ABSTRACT
Background:
Patients requiring coronary intervention after acute myocardial infarction, with decompensated heart failure and multiple co-morbidities, present a challenging clinical scenario. Addressing such high-risk cases has been a marked increase in the simultaneous support using microaxial flow pump devices, providing a crucial haemodynamic support during procedures. Casesummary:
We report the case of a 58-year-old man, with a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the context of a peripheral vascular surgery. Echocardiography revealed severely reduced left ventricular function and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated transmural scars in all but left anterior descending artery area. The patient was of extreme high surgical risk due to the multiple co-morbidities, acute decompensation heart failure, and peripheral artery disease, and, therefore, the heart team preferred protected percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over coronary artery bypass graft for revascularization. The peripheral artery disease included severely calcified ascending aorta, occlusions of both femoral arteries, the left subclavian artery, and the right radial artery. Taken together, the heart team agreed on a hybrid approach with surgical implantation of Impella 5.0 via the left subclavian artery, by a single-access technique. Following the intervention procedure, haemostasis of the vascular prosthesis was achieved by an angio-seal technique without complications. The patient recovered satisfactorily, with improved left ventricular function, and discharged 10 days post-procedure.Discussion:
The single-access high-risk PCI technique offers a standardized approach for microaxial flow pump devices such as Impella 5.0 and PCI. The subclavian artery as a single-access route for high-risk PCI has demonstrated safety and efficacy.
