Recovering Hearts.
Impella®
The world's smallest heart pump is the only non-surgical heart pump FDA-approved for patients undergoing high-risk PCI and those with cardiogenic shock. The Impella heart pump helps ensure blood flow is maintained to critical organs such as the brain and kidneys during a PCI procedure.
Impella® Protects the Heart During Cardiogenic Shock
What is Cardiogenic Shock
Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening situation that occurs when the heart is unable to provide critical organs the blood they need to function properly. This may occur following a heart attack.
The Impella heart pump temporarily assists the pumping function
of the heart to ensure blood flow is maintained to critical organs.
