This innovative medical device is the first percutaneous single access heart pump designed for right heart support to receive FDA approval.
Delivered through a catheter requiring only a small hole in the leg, the Impella RP is FDA indicated for providing circulatory assistance for up to 14 days in pediatric or adult patients who develop acute right heart failure or decompensation following left ventricular assist device implantation, myocardial infarction, heart transplant, or open-heart surgery. These patients lack blood flow from the right side of their hearts. ABMD's Impella RP is designed to provide the flow and pressure needed to compensate for right heart failure. The device does not require a surgical procedure for insertion, and it provides up to four liters per minute of hemodynamic support.
Fiscal 2015 third quarter worldwide Impella(R) revenue totaled $57.4 million, an increase of 37% compared to revenue of $42.0 million during the same period of the prior year.
ABMD is a leading provider of medical devices that provide circulatory support. Its products are designed to enable the heart to rest by improving blood flow and/or performing the pumping of the heart.
