Navigating high-risk PCI with axillary impella support: a case report
Axillary artery access for Impella-assisted high-risk PCI is a viable and underutilized option in select patients with complex coronary anatomy and peripheral vascular disease, expanding the therapeutic possibilities in advanced interventional cardiology. This report highlights a safe, effective alternative for patients with contraindications to femoral access and emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary planning.
