Abstract

Acute Coronary Syndrome - complications Aged Female Heart-Assist Devices Humans Shock, Cardiogenic - etiology Shock, Cardiogenic - therapy Treatment Outcome
We recently experienced a 70-year-old woman with left main trunk-acute coronary syndrome who was initially supported by Impella 5.0 which converted to paracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation as a bridge to recovery. Optimized guideline-directed medical therapy with cardiac rehabilitation resulted in successful explantation of LVAD and she discharged on foot.
