Impella Implantation as a Bridge to Surgery for Repair of Aorto-Right Ventricular Fistula Following Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: A Case Report.
The heart surgery forum(2023)
摘要
For patients with cardiogenic shock, delaying surgery with mechanical circulatory support is reported to yield better outcomes than emergency surgery. We report on an 82-year-old man diagnosed with vertebral osteomyelitis with concomitant infective endocarditis. Chest radiographs revealed a growing abscess, which resulted in an aorto-right ventricular fistula. Providing Impella support allowed for hemodynamic stabilization prior to surgery. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and reported to be well in a follow-up 1 year later. Impella support can be used as a bridge to surgery for repairing fistulous tract formation in patients in cardiogenic shock.
