Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is one of the most common complications of myocardial infarction (MI). Contemporary devices for mechanical support during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) include intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) or percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (pVADs). We describe the case of an elderly patient presenting with critical double-vessel disease, severely depressed LV function, and a large LV thrombus in the setting of a mechanical fall causing spinal cord compression. In this report, we describe the use of a TandemHeart pVAD during high-risk PCI in the presence of an unstable LV thrombus. |
