Identifying and planning protected temporary mechanical circulatory support-based procedures in high-risk patients
With the collaboration of the PCR MCS Focus Group
Anchorperson:
F. L. Ribichini
Spokesperson:
S. Ott
Summary
This session provides an in-depth update on protected temporary mechanical circulatory support-based procedures in high-risk cardiac patients. It covers patient identification criteria, device selection, and multidisciplinary planning to optimize outcomes in protected PCI, ventricular ablation, and surgical contexts.
Learning Objectives
- To get an update on the most recent evidence underlying protected cardiac procedures in high-risk patients
- To understand the high-risk patient identification for protected procedure with temporary mechanical cardio-circulatory support
- To learn about the device selection and multi-disciplinary planning
