The role of Impella in high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasingly performed in patients with severely depressed left ventricular function and complex coronary lesions, including multivessel disease.Mechanical ventricular assist devices play an increasingly important role in high-risk PCI. Impella CP® (...
