- High-risk cardiac patients undergoing complex procedures often experience blood flow instability, which requires reliable mechanical support to maintain stable blood circulation.
- The Impella ventricular assist device helps stabilize blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and features an automated controller for real-time adjustments.
- A case series showcases the effectiveness of the Impella device in handling hemodynamic issues during complex electrophysiology procedures, demonstrating its adaptability and importance.
Impella 5.5 (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) is a surgically implanted mechanical circulatory support device that helps support hemodynamically compromised patients.
