Myocardial Viability Assessment During Impella Support with 18-Fluorodesoxyglucose PET Imaging
Authors' conclusion
This study provides a pragmatic guidance on how to perform this imaging modality during Impella support and finally confirms the safety and feasibility of this advanced imaging method also in this vulnerable cohort of patients.
