Methods of using an intracardiac blood pump in association with a medical procedure. In some cases, a patient may be rejected to perform a medical procedure based on the risk that the procedure itself may cause the patient to experience a cardiac event during and/or after the procedure. In some examples, an intracardiac blood pump may be used to support the heart before, during, and/or after a medical procedure in order to minimize such risk, and thus enable a patient to accept critical treatments that are otherwise likely to be rejected. 与医学程序相关联地使用心内血泵的方法。在一些情况下，可以基于程序本身可能引起患者在程序期间和/或之后经历心脏事件的风险而拒绝患者进行医学程序。在一些示例中，可以在医学程序之前、期间和/或之后使用心内血泵来支持心脏，以便使这样的风险最小化，并且因此使得患者能够接受要不然可能被拒绝的关键治疗。
