Routine Impella CP Use Reduces 180-Day All-Cause Mortality in AMICS Due to STEMI
The DanGer Shock RCT4 confirms Impella CP® improves survival by 12.7%, compared to the control arm treated without Impella devices, in heart attack with shock.4 This independent investigator-initiated study represents a landmark as:
- The first RCT in AMICS trial history to achieve its primary endpoint.
- The first RCT in the MCS device trial history to demonstrate a survival benefit in AMICS.


EF Improvement Following Contemporary High-Risk PCI
RESTORE EF shows EF improved by 29% from overall baseline of 35% to 45% in high-risk PCI patients supported with Impella® heart pumps.
