Clinical utility of TandemHeart for high-risk tandem procedures: percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty followed by complex PCI.
Periprocedural hemodynamic stability is the cornerstone of success for complex percutaneous interventions. Percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (VSD) are increasingly being used to perform complex percutaneous coronary and non-coronary interventions. We report our experience in utilizing the TandemHeart, a percutaneous VSD, to successfully perform complex tandem procedures; balloon aortic valvuloplasty and angioplasty.
