note = "Funding Information: coronary intervention (PCI) of the left main (LM), left anterior descending (LAD) artery and diagonal branch with implantation of 5 drug-eluting stents (2020) was admitted due to heart failure exacerbation. Echocardiography showed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 13%, severe secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) and moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Coronary angiography demonstrated multivessel disease (SYNTAX score 47.5; Fig. 1A, B) with in-stent restenosis of the LM and LAD and chronic total occlusion of the circumflex (Cx). Considering the high risk of mortality (EuroSCORE II 22.1%), the Heart Team opted for PCI supported with percutaneous ventricular assist device. An Impella CP pump was inserted via the right femoral artery (Fig. 1C). Fielder XTR wire supported by the SuperCross 90 microcath-eter was used for Cx antegrade penetration. Fol-",
