Left ventricular perforation by Impella 5.5 during surgery for postinfarction ventricular septal rupture
A single device can be used throughout perioperative periods; however, if used during surgery, possible risk of left ventricular perforation should be well recognized since the device has no soft pigtail part at its end, and its stiff tip can directly contact the decompressed, flaccid ventricular wall during cardiac arrest.
