Use of a parallel stiff wire to facilitate percutaneous Impella RP ventricular assist device positioning.
Despite optimal medical management, some patients with severe right ventricular failure fail to respond and may benefit from additional support with the implantation of a RV assist device. Experience to date with Impella RP is limited. We report a case of percutaneous Impella RP implantation, using a parallel stiff wire to reduce anatomical tortuosity by acting as a buddy-wire to facilitate device implantation and reduce the risk of tricuspid ring damage in a patient recently treated with tricuspid ring annuloplasty.
