Final Results from the NCSI Study Demonstrate the Benefit of Early Cardiac Unloading with Impella

The final results of the physician-led NCSI Study demonstrate a 71% survival to discharge with greater than 90% native heart recovery when best practices are used, including placement of an Impella heart pump prior to revascularization (PCI).
