Mechanical circulatory support devices to protect patients during high-risk PCI
Summary
Performing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in complex patients requires the interventional cardiologist to use mechanical circulatory support devices to achieve safer outcomes. Which patients are most at risk of complex PCI? What are the best mechanical circulatory support devices currently available and which has the strongest evidence base? When is the best time to start using left ventricular support when carrying out PCI procedures? Nikos Mezilis and Tommaso Gori debate these issues and many more...
