Impella CP pump orientation in the introducer sheath and insertion depth in the left ventricle were associated with device malrotation, which occurred in 45.8% of preclinical cases.
Does device insertion technique affect the risk of Impella CP malrotation?
Pump orientation in the introducer sheath and insertion depth are associated with Impella CP malrotation in a preclinical model, providing actionable targets for prevention.
Tasa de eventos absoluta: 0% vs 0%
In this preclinical study malrotation occurred in 45.8%, with no interaction with operator or anatomical model. Pump orientation in the introducer sheath and insertion depth in the left ventricle were associated with malrotation outcome. This experiment identified actionable targets to prevent Impella CP malrotation that warrant validation in clinical studies.
Baldetti et al. (Thu,) reported a other. Impella CP pump orientation in the introducer sheath and insertion depth in the left ventricle were associated with device malrotation, which occurred in 45.8% of preclinical cases.
