Patient Management During Protected PCI - An Overview

Data from more than 300,000 Impella® heart pump cases have shaped best practices for a team-based approach to patient management. Learn about the diverse aspects of patient management, including access point management, heart pump positioning and repositioning, alarm handling, weaning and escalation and management of the purge system.
