Right Heart Failure
The Procedure
The Impella RP® Heart Pump is a Standard of Care for Right Heart Failure
- First and only U.S. FDA-approved and CE-approved percutaneous right ventricular (RV) assist device on the market
- Inserted percutaneously through the femoral vein using standard catheterization techniques
- Delivers blood from inferior vena cava to pulmonary artery
- Reduces right ventricular workload, decreasing central venous pressure (CVP) and increasing cardiac index (CI)
