Condition: High-risk PCI · Coronary Artery Disease Risk High · Sponsor: Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc
If there is a narrowing or blockage in the coronary arteries of the heart, the cardiologist may choose to treat this blockage. This is called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which involves both balloon angioplasty and the placement of a stent. PCI is a commonly performed and safe procedure. However, in your case, the procedure is more complicated than usual due to the location and nature of the narrowing, the required technique for the intervention, and the fact that your heart function is reduced. As a result, your PCI will carry a higher risk than usual. During the procedure, balloons are inflated to clear the blockage, and a stent is placed to keep the artery open. This temporarily reduces or even stops the blood and oxygen supply to a large portion of the heart. This moment presents a higher risk for complications, such as low blood pressure or cardiac arrest. As a result, the heart may not pump blood effectively throughout the body, which can lead to oxygen deprivation in other organs. To help the heart in this situation, it is possible to insert a mechanical heart pump during the procedure. This form of support is introduced via an artery in the groin into your left ventricle. The pump helps the heart function and may improve the circulation to the body's organs. On the other hand, the placement of the pump increases the chance of complications. Therefore, there are both potential benefits and risks. It is currently unclear whether PCI with the temporary pum…
