The Impella recover LP 2.5 is a percutaneous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recently approved for use in patients undergoing high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and also in cases of cardiogenic shock. There is limited evidence available in literature about its safety, especially with regards to the incidence of local vascular complications, their management and long-term implications. We report here the first case of a serious local vascular complication-superficial femoral artery thrombus formation during Impella recover LP 2.5 use in a high risk PCI which was managed successfully with novel aspiration thrombectomy catheter (Pronto V3), which in itself is the first reported use of Pronto V3 in such a vascular complication.

Transcoronary study of biomarkers in patients with heart failure: Insights into intracardiac production.
ESC Heart Fail
December 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China.
Aims: Biomarkers are pivotal in the management of heart failure (HF); however, their lack of cardiac specificity could limit clinical utility. This study aimed to investigate the transcoronary changes and intracardiac production of these biomarkers.
Methods: Transcoronary gradients for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and five novel biomarkers-galectin-3 (Gal-3), soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-were determined using femoral artery (FA) and coronary sinus (CS) samples from 30 HF patients and 10 non-HF controls.
Intravascular ultrasound-derived virtual fractional flow reserve in the superficial femoral artery.
CVIR Endovasc
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-4-3 Asahimachi Abenoku, Osaka, 545-8585, Japan.
Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) can be estimated by analysis of intravascular imaging in a coronary artery; however, there are no data for estimated FFR in an extremity artery. The aim of this concept-generating study was to determine whether it is possible to estimate the value of peripheral FFR (PFFR) by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis also in femoropopliteal artery lesions.
Methods: Between April 2022 and February 2023, PFFR was measured before endovascular therapy in 31 stenotic femoropopliteal artery lesions.
Vascular Closure Device versus Open Decannulation for Femoral Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
Ann Thorac Surg
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Traditional decannulation of femoral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) involves femoral cutdown. Percutaneous methods have been developed, but data supporting their use is limited. We sought to compare the MANTA vascular closure device to open decannulation.

This case study presents the successful treatment of a 26-year-old male who experienced profuse bleeding from a gunshot wound to his thigh 4 days after the initial injury. The patient underwent surgery performed by a military vascular surgeon, during which previously undetected injuries to the femoral artery and vein were identified. The surgeon conducted a femoral artery alloprosthesis and sutured the damaged femoral vein.
