ECpella
Hemodynamic Effects of ECpella with Impella 5.5® with SmartAssist® Heart Pumps
Learn more about the hemodynamic effects of Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist heart pumps.
Benefits of ECpella - Therapy Options for Cardiogenic Shock Patients
Cardiogenic shock patients need advanced therapies that provide oxygenation and full cardiac support. Learn more about the benefits of the ECpella therapy.
Improved heart function
The combination of Impella heart pumps and ECMO technology helps support the heart and improve its function, leading to better blood flow and oxygenation.
Increased survival rates
Studies have shown that patients who receive ECpella therapy have higher survival rates compared to those who receive other forms of treatment.1
Early Left Ventricular Unloading Improves Survival in Patients in Cardiogenic Shock
Supported by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
New research shows that early left ventricular unloading with Impella heart pumps improves survival in patients with cardiogenic shock supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) - learn more in the interview with Dr. Benedikt Schrage.
New Therapeutic Concepts of Combining ECLS With Impella Heart Pumps in Cardiogenic Shock
Dr. Armin Klesius interviews Prof. Evgenij Potapov on new therapeutic concepts in the field of ECpella therapy.
ECMO-CS Trial: VA ECMO in Rapidly Deteriorating or Severe Cardiogenic Shock
Jan Belohlavek, MD, PhD, discusses results from the ECMO-CS trial that he and his colleagues recently published in Circulation.
