This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of CHIP-PCI performed under Impella support utilizing the single-access technique with a 7.5 Fr sheathless guiding catheter. Beyond advantages of the single-access technique in sparing time and avoiding vascular complications associated with gaining a second arterial access, the lower outer diameter of the sheathless catheter compared with standard 7 Fr sheaths may allow improved limb perfusion and lower chance of interference with the Impella CP catheter.
