Evanescent Microbubbles After Cardiac Mechanical Support

A 70-year-old man was successfully resuscitated, and an Impella CP was implanted. Transthoracic echocardiography showed acceptable Impella position with noticeable microbubbles in the left ventricle without device alarms. We highlight the appropriate approach in evaluating intracardiac microbubbles...

Sumario:A 70-year-old man was successfully resuscitated, and an Impella CP was implanted. Transthoracic echocardiography showed acceptable Impella position with noticeable microbubbles in the left ventricle without device alarms. We highlight the appropriate approach in evaluating intracardiac microbubbles in critical care scenarios. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
