"We are extremely pleased to report another quarter of record revenue, including acceleration in year-over-year Impella growth," said Michael R. Minogue, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abiomed. "We believe the Impella U.S. growth of 61% indicates Impella is becoming the new standard of care in the U.S. for percutaneous circulatory support."
