Clinical application of prophylactic percutaneous left ventricular assist device (TandemHeart) in high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention using an arterial preclosure technique: single-center experience.

Abstract

Implantation of the TH PTVA is safe and feasible in patients undergoing high-risk PCI with excellent hemodynamic support. Application of suture-mediated devices prior to large arteriotomies can significantly reduce the incidence of vascular complications.
