Course Description: Excel in Advanced Techniques in a Hands-On Setting
Dive into an immersive training experience designed for clinicians who want to
elevate their expertise. This cadaver lab-based program combines interactive simulations
with expert-led instruction, giving you the confidence to manage complex cases.
Work side-by-side with leading faculty as you practice real-world techniques for Impella
devices—including large-bore access, Impella® insertion, positioning, and closure. Through perfusion-based cadaver labs and focused small-group learning,
you’ll gain practical skills and actionable insights you can apply immediately in your
practice.
Learning Objective: By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
• Identify appropriate patient selection criteria in the context of high-risk PCI,
cardiogenic shock and/or right ventricular dysfunction/failure.
• Cultivate procedural expertise with Impella insertion, explant &
troubleshooting per IFU standards, including best practices for large bore access &
closure.
• Deepen skills in applying current guidelines and data to support decision making.
