Aortix, a novel pMCS device, was successfully deployed and retrieved in all initial patients undergoing high-risk PCI. We noted no significant hemolysis with temporary use of this axial flow device. Improvement in eGFR suggests a potential renal protective effect and is an important area for future investigation in patients with impaired left ventricular function and renal dysfunction.
