Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist Heart Pump
A heart pump designed for surgeons with forward flow and intelligent patient management. Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist delivers full cardiac support with maximum unloading, allowing the heart to rest and recover. It is a microaxial, surgically implanted heart pump that unloads the left ventricle, reduces ventricular work, and provides the circulatory support necessary to allow recovery and early assessment of residual myocardial function. It is designed for long-duration support and enables ambulation to optimize recovery while using real-time SmartAssist intelligence.

A study published in the journal ASAIO examined the outcomes of the first 55 patients treated with Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist at Cleveland Clinic, Hackensack University Medical Center/Hackensack Meridian Health and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Study authors and cardiac surgeons Ed Soltesz, MD, Mark Anderson, MD, and Danny Ramzy, MD, conclude Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist is clinically appropriate for a number of challenging scenarios, including AMI cardiogenic shock.1
