ABIOMED, a big name in heart-assist pump tech**logy, just received European approval of its Impella RP pump that, unlike most other similar devices, is designed to specifically support the right ventricle. It’s marked for use for up to 14 days to compensate for reduced right ventricular function, after heart attacks, during beating heart bypass surgery, and even for right side heart failure post implantation of a similar left ventricular assist device.
Here’s a company video presenting the Impella RP:
