Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management

Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management

Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage. Timely...

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Medical Devices
Interventional Cardiology

Background:

High-risk percutaneous interventions require advanced hemodynamic support.
Severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease pose significant challenges during procedures.

Observation:

A 77-year-old female patient presented with worsening shortness of breath due to severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease.
The patient had a low ejection fraction (20%) and severe peripheral vascular disease, indicating high procedural risk.

Findings:

The Impella LP 2.5 left ventricular assist device (Abiomed) provided safe and effective hemodynamic support during balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV).
The procedure was completed successfully without any complications.

Implications:

Impella support is a viable option for high-risk patients undergoing BAV.
Consideration of Impella may be beneficial for patients with contraindications to other devices like TandemHeart.
