Complete percutaneous coronary revascularization: An elegant solution to left ventricular dysfunction caused by severe coronary artery disease

Abstract

Key Clinical Message With increased complexity in both medical comorbidities and coronary anatomy, the proportion of surgically turndown patients and high‐risk PCI will continue to rise. Impella‐assisted complex PCI can be performed with high technical success and can improve quality of life, angina score, and potentially left ventricular ejection fraction.
