  • Prophylactic use of intra-aortic balloon pump for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention: will the Impella LP 2.5 device show superiority in a clinical randomized study?

    In addition, the definition of high-risk PCI is not standardized. Patients at high risk for procedure-related morbidity and mortality are those who experience uncontrollable chest pain with pharmacology; those undergoing multivessel PCI, left main or last patent conduit PCI; elderly patients (age >70 years); those with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, pulmonary wedge pressure ≥15 mm Hg and pulmonary arterial pressure ≥50 mm Hg [10,16,18]. IABP increases coronary flow but does not actively unload the left ventricle.

    However, the IABP requires a certain cardiac efficacy to exert its beneficial hemodynamical effects; in addition, its contribution to pump function improvement is lower than 25% [5–7]. In fact, other circulatory devices have been developed to provide a simplified form of “extracorporal circulatory assistance” [8–10]. Among such systems, the Impella Recover is a catheter-mounted axial flow pump that can be inserted percutaneously through the femoral artery and offers a continuous circulatory output of nearly 2.3 L/min.

  • Percutaneous Left Ventricular Support Devices

    Power is supplied by a direct current brushless electromagnetic motor that operates at a range of 3000 to 7500 rpm. There are generous gaps between the impella and the housing which permits blood to flow freely with low friction, thereby limiting the generation of heat, hemolysis, and thromboembolism [29]. Blood is then delivered from the pump to the femoral artery with an arterial perfusion catheter.
