Given the increased need for mechanical circulatory support and subsequent development of right ventricular assist devices (RVAD), appropriate imaging needs to be described to facilitate care in patients with cardiogenic shock and heart failure. We present three cases in which the upper esophageal aortic arch short axis (UE AA SAX) view on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was utilized to effectively...
Background: Acute decompensated heart failure in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is becoming increasingly common.
Aims: In this case report, we describe the successful use of an Impella 5.5 (Abiomed) to treat cardiogenic shock refractory to inotropic therapy.
Materials & Methods: Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography confirmed severely diminished left ventricular...
