Exploring personal protection during high-risk PCI in a COVID-19 patient – Impella CP mechanical support during ULMCA bifurcation stenting

Abstract The correct management of patients with COVID-19 and acute coronary syndrome is still uncertain. We describe the percutaneous treatment of an unprotected left main coronary artery in a COVID-19 positive patient with unstable angina, dyspnea and fever. Particular attention will be dedicated to the measures adopted in the catheterization laboratory to protect the staff and to avoid further spread of the infection.
