Is Protected PCI with Impella Right for You?
Answer a few questions to see if you may be a candidate.
Improve your quality of life. Protected PCI with Impella CP® can be an effective treatment option to address severe coronary artery disease or advanced heart failure.
In a clinical trial, 8 of every 10 patients experienced quality of life improvements. Their native heart function recovered and heart failure symptoms diminished in just 90 days after a Protected PCI procedure as compared to other forms of treatment.1
You may be a candidate for Protected PCI with Impella CP if:
- Your heart team has told you that angioplasty or stent placement is too risky
- There’s nothing more your physician can do to address your symptoms
- You are not a candidate for surgery due to your risk factors
- You have other health concerns that increase the risk of traditional stenting or heart surgery such as chronic kidney disease
As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. There are potential risks, these risks need to be discussed with your doctor and recovery takes time. The success of this procedure depends on many factors, including your physical condition and your body’s ability to tolerate the procedure. Use care in the selection of your doctors and hospital, based on their skill and experience.
