St. Cloud Hospital percutaneous axillary case of 71 yo male with ESRD, DMII, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, peripheral vascular disease and known MV CAD
Thom Dahle, MD, and Brian Stegman, MD, perform this live percutaneous axillary Impella®-supported high-risk PCI case at St. Cloud Hospital, in Minnesota. The patient is a 71-year-old male with end-stage renal disease, severe PAD, CAD, previous MI, several PCIs, prior TAVR and multiple cardiovascular risk factors. The case highlights alternative access, contrast-sparing imaging, stent strategy discussions and bifurcation PCI. Seth Bilazarian, MD, with panelists John Lasala, MD, Raj Patel, MD, and Tim Smith, MD, provide commentary. “This was a great use of Impella,” Dr. Patel emphasizes, “in a patient at high risk for contrast-induced nephropathy.”
