Impella 5.5 Support for Delayed Surgical Ventricular Septal Defect Repair—A Paradigm Shift?
Preoperative implantation of the Impella 5.5 device is a safe and feasible option for patients undergoing VSD repair. Outcomes may be improved by performing Impella implantation under local anesthesia and continuing Impella support after VSD repair. However, it is important to note that these patients represent a high-risk cohort and the mortality rate remains high.
