About An Impella-Supported Procedure

For some people, their doctor may determine that their heart disease is too severe for a traditional PCI and too high-risk for heart surgery. For these patients, an Impella-supported procedure also known as a Protected PCI, may be an option. Protected PCI is a widely accepted procedure using the Impella heart pump to temporarily assist the pumping function of the heart.

Benefits of Impella Heart Pumps

Hemodynamic Stabilization

Impella heart pumps provide the unique benefit of unloading the heart while providing coronary perfusion and end organ perfusion.

Safe and Effective

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Impella its highest level of approval as safe and effective.

Improved Quality of Life

In a randomized controlled trial, 8-in-10 patients treated with Impella heart pumps experienced reduction in heart failure symptoms or improved ejection fraction.
