What is Impella?
Impella is a family of minimally invasive heart pumps used to support heart function during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures or in cases of cardiogenic shock. These pumps are inserted through an artery in the leg or arm and positioned in the left ventricle to assist the heart in pumping blood, allowing the heart to rest and recover. Impella devices are used as a temporary solution to improve blood flow and cardiac output.
What other technologies are related to Impella?
Impella Competitor Technologies
IABP
IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) is a competitor as it provides circulatory support but utilizes a different mechanism and is generally used for less severe cases of heart failure than Impella.
ECMO
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a competitor because it provides full cardiopulmonary support, serving as an alternative to Impella in critical situations.
LVAD
LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) is a competitor as it provides longer-term circulatory support for heart failure patients, serving as an alternative or bridge to transplant when Impella is not sufficient.
Intra-aortic balloon pump
IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) is a competitor as it provides circulatory support but utilizes a different mechanism and is generally used for less severe cases of heart failure than Impella.
RVAD
No summary available
RVAD (Right Ventricular Assist Device) supports the right ventricle. In cases where both ventricles need assistance, it can be considered a competitor with the right-sided support of Impella RP.
Balloon Pump
Balloon pump is another name for an IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump). It is a competitor as it provides circulatory support but utilizes a different mechanism and is generally used for less severe cases of heart failure than Impella.
Intra Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP)

Impella Complementary Technologies
thrombectomy
No summary available
Thrombectomy (removal of a blood clot) can be complementary to Impella use because patients requiring circulatory support may also require clot removal in related vascular interventions. Impella can provide hemodynamic support while the patient undergoes thrombectomy.
stent placement
No summary available
Stent placement is complementary to Impella use. Impella can provide hemodynamic support during high-risk PCI procedures where stents are placed.
atherectomy
No summary available
Atherectomy is complementary because it is another procedure to open blocked arteries and may require hemodynamic support by Impella during the procedure.
