Description

Abiomed Impella 5.5 Heart Pump

- The Abiomed Impella 5.5 is an advanced mechanical circulatory support device designed to assist patients experiencing severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock. This percutaneous heart pump provides temporary support, helping the heart rest and recover by improving blood flow and unloading the left ventricle.
  1. Superior Hemodynamic Support:
    - Provides continuous forward flow, stabilizing hemodynamics and ensuring adequate organ perfusion.
    - Reduces left ventricular workload, allowing myocardial recovery.
  2. Durability:
    - Engineered for extended use, supporting patients for days to weeks as they recover or await further treatment (e.g., surgery or transplantation).
  3. Enhanced Mobility:
    - Designed for percutaneous insertion via the axillary artery, enabling patient mobility during support.
  4. Real-Time Monitoring:
    - Integrates with the Impella Console, offering clinicians real-time data on pump performance and patient hemodynamics.
  5. Minimally Invasive:
    - Inserted via catheter-based techniques, reducing complications associated with traditional open-heart procedures.
  Indications
  1. Cardiogenic Shock:
    - Provides critical circulatory support for patients experiencing severe cardiac output reduction due to heart failure or myocardial infarction.
  2. High-Risk PCI:
    - Assists during complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with compromised left ventricular function.
  3. Bridge to Recovery or Decision:
    - Supports patients while determining long-term treatment options such as heart transplantation or ventricular assist devices (VADs).
  4. Post-Cardiotomy Support:
    - Helps stabilize patients after open-heart surgery with ventricular dysfunction.
  Procedure Overview
  1. Insertion:
    - Inserted percutaneously through the femoral or axillary artery using standard catheterization techniques.
  2. Positioning:
    - Positioned across the aortic valve with the inlet in the left ventricle and the outlet in the ascending aorta.
  3. Operation:
    - The pump draws blood from the left ventricle and expels it into the ascending aorta, reducing ventricular workload and improving systemic circulation.
  4. Monitoring:
    - Pump performance and patient hemodynamics are monitored via the external console.
  Clinical Benefits
  1. Myocardial Unloading:
    - Reduces ventricular workload and oxygen demand, promoting recovery of the heart muscle.
  2. Enhanced Organ Perfusion:
    - Increases cardiac output, ensuring adequate perfusion to vital organs.
  3. Improved Patient Outcomes:
    - Helps stabilize patients, providing time for recovery or further therapeutic interventions.
  4. Reduced Invasive Risk:
    - Percutaneous insertion reduces the risks and recovery time associated with open-heart surgery.
  The Abiomed Impella 5.5 Heart Pump is a revolutionary device for patients in critical cardiac conditions, offering life-saving support with minimally invasive technology.
