Abstract
We report on a 59-year old man with acute myocardial infarction and profound cardiogenic shock in which the successful employment of the transcutaneous left ventricular assist device Impella 2.5 could rapidly establish temporary circulatory support in the catheterization laboratory, and thereby aid a high-risk three vessel revascularization procedure.
Zusammenfassung
In dieser Fallbeschreibung berichten wir über einen 59-jährigen Patienten mit akutem infarktbedingtem schwerem kardiogenem Schock, bei dem der Einsatz des transkutanen Linksherzunterstützungssystems Impella 2.5 zu einer raschen Stabilisierung der hämodynamischen Situation führte und damit eine erfolgreiche katheterinterventionelle 3-Gefäß-Revaskularisation möglich wurde.
