Abstract

We report a case of Impella 5.5-assisted off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. The Impella 5.5 was placed in the left ventricle during the emergent procedure, and an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed with exposure of all three walls of the heart. Our findings demonstrated the feasibility of off-pump coronary revascularization in three-vessel disease in a patient assisted with an Impella 5.5 percutaneous left ventricular assist device without displacement of the device during the entire perioperative period.
