Impella Assisted Angioplasty is a safer alternative to traditional angioplasty in old age where patients have multiple complex blockages, weak hearts, and high risks of bypass.
Watch as Dr. Rahul Gupta, one of the best Cardiologists in Navi Mumbai explains how Impella Assisted Angioplasty works: the device is temporarily inserted through a blood vessel in the patient's leg and takes over the heart's functions to bring it to a restful state. The procedure is performed through the wrist or leg veins, after which the device is removed.
The Impella LVAD is a breakthrough technology in interventional cardiology that enables
safer angioplasty procedures for elderly patients at higher risks of complications. The device provides significant support to the heart during angioplasty, which makes the procedure less risky and more successful.
