Impella flow pump reinsertion after axillary graft thrombectomy: Technical points in replacing axillary Impella

Axillary Impella devices are increasingly employed for long-term support of patients with systolic heart failure and shock. Axillary access allows for awake support and ambulation, which carries an inherent risk of disconnection or malposition. We report a series of two cases where device replacemen...
