Impella®
What Sets Impella Heart Pumps Apart
Supports Your Heart
Impella allows the heart to rest and recover by temporarily assisting the pumping function of the heart to efficiently deliver blood and oxygen to the entire body.
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 improvement in heart function.1

Mom of three enjoys life with her family after surviving cardiogenic shock.
Jenna was taken to the catheterization lab in cardiogenic shock with a reduced ejection fraction of 20 percent and a complete blockage of her left main coronary artery. Dr. Stanley Zimmerman implanted the Impella CP® heart pump before placing stents. After a few days of support, her heart function dramatically improved to 45 percent, and Impella was weaned and removed.

As with any medical treatment, individual results may vary. Only a physician can determine whether Impella is an appropriate course of treatment. There are potential risks including acute renal dysfunction, Aortic valve injury, Bleeding, Cardiogenic shock, Cerebral vascular accident/Stroke, Death, Hemolysis, Limb ischemia, Myocardial infarction, Renal failure, Thrombocytopenia and Cardiac or Vascular injury (including ventricular perforation). 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.
