Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) or heart failure is associated with an unacceptably high in-hospital mortality of 33%–55% and a lost chance to accept PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention). Aim: The aim of the study was to find out whether percutaneous hemodynamic support device Impella 2.5 improves prognosis of high-risk PCI patients or not. Methods: This study was a case series involving six patients who underwent a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD, Impella 2.5, Abiomed, Danvers, MA) implantation after suffering from AMI with a very low ejection fraction and acute heart failure. The clinical experience and outcomes of the patients are hereby discussed. Results: All PCI procedures were safely completed under LVAD support. The hemodynamic parameters of all patients improved clinically over the next 30 days and following 12 months after Impella insertion except in two patients, of which one patient (Case number 6) died 4 days post-Impella protected PCI procedure due to acute left ventricle heart failure with cardiogenic shock and pulmonary oedema; and another one died at 12 months after Impella protected PCI procedure (Case number 4) due to decompensated heart failure and infected pneumonia. Conclusion: Percutaneous hemodynamic support is favorable and feasible during high risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). A bigger study is needed to substantiate the claims of the current study.

The Impella 2.5 is a percutaneously placed partial circulatory assist device that is increasingly being used in high-risk coronary interventional procedures to provide hemodynamic support. The Impella 2.5 is able to unload the left ventricle rapidly and effectively and increase cardiac output more than an intra-aortic balloon catheter can. Potential complications include bleeding, limb ischemia, hemolysis, and infection. One community hospital’s approach to establishing a multidisciplinary program for use of the Impella 2.5 is described.

There is currently little data regarding the ideal management for a patient who has undergone recent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and subsequently develops dengue fever. Patients with recent PCI are at high risk of stent thrombosis with cessation of dual anti-platelet therapy. On the other hand, patients with dengue viral infection are at high risk of bleeding. Managing patients with recent PCI and dengue involves the delicate balancing of the risk of thrombosis and bleeding. Careful consideration of the timing of coronary intervention and the severity of the dengue infection is required. We describe the management of the anti-thrombotic therapy in three different patients with dengue infection and recent PCI and discuss our approach to managing such patients.

Patients with advanced age, complex coronary anatomy, and multiple comorbidities are often unsuitable for surgical revascularization. In this setting, hemodynamic support devices are used as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention to maintain hemodynamic stability and enable optimal revascularization. This article provides an overview of percutaneous hemodynamic support devices currently used in clinical practice for high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. These include the intra-aortic balloon pump, centrifugal pumps (TandemHeart, venous arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), and micro-axial Impella pump. The hemodynamic effects, clinical evidence supporting improved outcomes and recovery of heart function, and associated complications with these devices are highlighted, with a special focus on Impella pumps.
