This Impella skills video demonstrates how to set up and start a case with the Impella 2.5 or Impella CP.

This Impella skills video describes the single-access technique for the Impella CP and Impella CP with SmartAssist.

Jörn Tongers, MD, discusses early combined mechanical circulatory support with an Impella heart pump and V-A ECMO in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. 

This Impella skills video demonstrates how to enter cardiac output into the Automated Impella Controller™ for Impella CP® with SmartAssist® and Impella 5.5® with SmartAssist®.

Sergio Leonardi, MD, and Stefano De Servi, MD, discuss their paper evaluating completeness of revascularization in patients with complex, stable CAD who underwent PCI.

Edward Soltesz, MD, describes worldwide experience with the Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist heart pump in this presentation from the 2021 STS annual virtual meeting.

Scott Silvestry, MD, and a panel of surgeons take a comprehensive look at post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock and its management today.

Kiyotake Ishikawa, MD, discusses his paper on the impact of Impella on dissected coronary artery hemodynamics in a porcine model.

William O’Neill, MD, Navin Kapur, MD, Amir Kaki, MD, Junya Ako, MD, and Daniel Burkhoff, MD, discuss identification and management of AMI cardiogenic shock in part 1 of this 4-part TAMS virtual event.

Jeffrey Marbach, MD, and Haval Chweich, MD, present 3 cases for discussion with William O’Neill, MD, and Navin Kapur, MD, in part 2 of this 4-part TAMS virtual event.

Benham Tehrani, MD, Bartley Griffith, MD, and Babar Basir, DO, discuss tailoring therapy to patients in cardiogenic shock in part 3 of this 4-part TAMS virtual event.

Following a Q&A session with Daniel Burkhoff, MD, Bartley Griffith, MD, Babar Basir, DO, and Benham Tehrani, MD, Pedro Villablanca, MD, and Michael Kiernan, MD, present patient cases highlighting transfer, escalation and weaning in this final part of the 4-part TAMS virtual event.

Christophe Vandenbriele, MD, discusses data on combining Impella with MitraClip to optimize outcomes in cardiogenic shock with acute severe mitral regurgitation secondary to AMI.

Transcaval access can help meet the urgent clinical need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for some patients with cardiogenic shock.

Dave Weber, PhD, reviews how SmartAssist technology determines and tracks trends in cardiac output (CO) and cardiac power output (CPO) and how these metrics can be used to guide a successful Impella® heart pump weaning procedure.
