Event or Problem Description

|
An impella cp device was inserted via the right femoral artery in a 55-year-old male patient presenting with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (ami/cgs).The patient¿s comorbidities were unknown.The patient¿s clinical state prior to initiation of support was identified as scai shock stage e.During support, the patient developed pink-colored urine.The impella was repositioned under echocardiographic guidance.Other contributing factors included a high-performance level (p-level), a hyperdynamic left ventricle, and initially shallow device placement.The patient survived to explant.The hematuria may occur in the setting of purge-related anticoagulation requirements and may be influenced by patient-specific factors such as underlying cardiogenic shock, hemodynamic instability, hyperdynamic ventricular function and device position.
