Percutaneous left ventricular assist devices could nowadays offer a valid support to percutaneous coronary interventions even in very high risk patients. This case illustrates a successful distal left main coronary artery V‐stenting supported by the Tandem Heart in a patient with severe left ventricular dysfunction, severe aortic stenosis, and refractory myocardial ischemia. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
