Feasibility of sheathless Impella for protected percutaneous coronary intervention: a single-center experience
02 May 2025
Impella CP microaxial flow pump supports complete revascularisation during high-risk PCI, but standard implantation often leads to vascular complications. This article explores an initial experience with a sheathless implantation technique, which shows promise as a feasible and safe alternative.
Technical pearls in CTO PCI
14 May 2024 – From EuroPCR 2024
This session will feature a series of selected clinical case submissions from EuroPCR 2024, focusing on the technical pearls and innovative approaches in the management of chronic total occlusions (CTO) during percutaneous coronary interventions.
