Insertion: The Impella CP device can be inserted via a standard catheterization procedure through the femoral artery, into the ascending aorta, across the valve and into the left ventricle. Impella CP® heart pump is safe and effective for use during high-risk PCI procedures and for patients in cardiogenic shock.Click to see full answer. Beside this, how do I remove an Impella device?Traditionally, the Impella® devices are removed via surgical repair of the common femoral artery, or percutaneously with applied pressure at the access site to achieve hemostasis. However, hemostasis can be difficult to obtain with pressure due to large sheath size.Also, is an Impella permanent? Visit http://www.abiomed.com to see a video showing insertion of the Impella 2.5 catheter. During your procedure, the Impella will be permanently connected to the console, which will be monitored by your caregivers. Keeping this in consideration, where is an Impella placed? During the Procedure The Impella® blood pump is inserted into the femoral artery through a small incision in the leg. The Impella® blood pump can also be inserted into the subclavian artery through a small incision in the chest. Then it is advanced through the patient’s artery to their heart.How does the Impella device work?The Impella Ventricular Support System helps pump blood by drawing blood out of the heart and pumping it into the aorta, partially or fully bypassing the left ventricle. It is implanted into the left side of a patient’s heart through a small incision in the femoral artery (major artery in the leg).
