For Patients Experiencing

Right Heart Failure

During right heart failure, blood begins to backup because it isn`t adequately pumped out to the lungs. This backup causes pressure in the veins, resulting in swelling of the legs and ankles. Ultimately, the amount of blood reaching the lungs, where blood normally becomes infused with much-needed oxygen, is reduced.

COVID-19 Complications

COVID-19 can create a prothrombotic environment in some patients resulting in acute pulmonary embolism which may lead to acute right ventricular failure. For critically ill patients, Impella RPcan be rapidly deployed in a matter of minutes using a minimally invasive technique in the cardiac catheterization laboratory or operating room.
