Chronic coronary syndrome with low ejection fraction and left ventricle support

Facilitators: V. Panoulas, M. Ayoub

Summary

This session examines the management of chronic coronary syndrome in patients with low ejection fraction, emphasizing the role of left ventricular support. Topics include risks of intracoronary imaging, pharmacological facilitation, mechanical circulatory support, and alternatives like LAVA-ECMO.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Can intracoronary imaging be harmful? Risks and Challenges in complex PCI
  • High-risk PCI facilitated with levosimendan and mechanical left ventricular support
  • Mechanically supported PCI in a last remaining vessel
  • Bringing up the big guns: high-risk PCI with circulatory support in severe aortic stenosis
  • LAVA-ECMO as an alternative to Impella
