Published in 2025 at "Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions"

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31695

Abstract: Transfemoral Impella placement can be technically challenging in patients with severe iliofemoral tortuosity and calcification, often leading to sheath kinking, failed device advancement and vascular complications. In this complex, high‐risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) case,… read more here.
