  • Application of Impella Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty: A Single-Center Experience

    Abstract

    Background/purpose

    Percutaneous valve interventions for aortic stenosis (AS) include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). Intraprocedural mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with Impella devices (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) is used in select high-risk patients, although data regarding its efficacy is limited. This study sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Impella use in patients with AS who underwent TAVR and BAV at a quaternary-care center.
