Acute Complication Due to Impella 2.5 Device (Superficial Femoral Artery Thrombosis): Managed Successfully with Novel Aspiration Thrombectomy Catheter (Pronto V3)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Impella recover LP 2.5 is a percutaneous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recently approved for use in patients undergoing high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and also in cases of cardiogenic shock. There is limited evidence available in literature about its safety, especially with regards to the incidence of local vascular complications, their management and long-term implications. We report here the first case of a serious local vascular complication-superficial femoral artery thrombus formation during Impella recover LP 2.5 use in a high risk PCI which was managed successfully with novel aspiration thrombectomy catheter (Pronto V3), which in itself is the first reported use of Pronto V3 in such a vascular complication.

Thrombosis of superficial femoral artery (SFA) nitinol stents or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) femoropopliteal bypass grafts after discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy is an emergent clinical challenge of acute limb ischemia (ALI), requiring immediate percutaneous intervention. Currently, there is no evidence-based approach for the management of such complications. We describe the cases of ...
