A 50-year-old man with an end-stage cardiac failure was referred to our institution for pre-transplantation assessment. An infrarenal aortic aneurysm (diameter 45 mm) was discovered and progressed (up to 59 mm) over a two-month period. Decision to perform aneurysmectomy with the support of an Impella® Recover LP50 microaxial blood pump was decided regarding the rapid evolution of the disease. The patient had uneventful cardiac-wise during surgery and postoperative period.

Key Words: Aortic surgery; Impella; Microaxial; Assist device
