Impella 2.5 New
Getting enough blood and oxygen to the body after a heart attack is crucial to survival. Impella pumps 2.5 liters of blood per minute, allowing the heart to rest and recover. The current standard of care, the balloon pump, does not allow the heart muscle to recover damage from a heart attack. abiomed.com
