Congrats to Dr Mark Beniarz and the New Mexico Heart Team for making history in the U.S. by enrolling the first patient in RECOVER IV RCT for AMI cardiogenic shock, testing early unloading with Impella MCS, routine PAC, PCI, weaning pressors and early MCS escalation as needed.

Great new App from the CGS Working Group. #HFSA2023 https://t.co/0gy6h7nG59

@kburr96 @TommyBurrOU05 Yes! That he would, Kelly!

Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa is the first in the country to have credentialing in place to enable APPs to manage AND reposition Impella in the ICU.

Rapid response to alarms. Improved management and outcomes.

👍

Abiomed's Clinical Care App provides key resources health care professionals can access pre- and post-procedure at the point of care from the cath lab, ICU, OR or while in transport to improve patient outcomes. Download the new Impella® App: https://t.co/H3D99bNcal

1/ #ExternalFemFemBypass after surviving a #STEMI #cardiogenicshock Lets do a #tweetorial for #ACCFIT.
60sF new LBBB+CP: STEMI, SBP 80, then 60, on table as finishing diag cath. Imeplla in, now laminar flow, pt awake, PCI LAD done, now no R foot pulse, cold and pale.

I performed the 100th Impella 5.5 (and first gen 2!) at @HMethodistCV! could not have accomplished this feat without the support of our tireless and excellent team! @Abiomed @MethodistHosp

In this case, a little #Shock goes a long way - 9Fr #Impella ECP from @abiomed supported CABG declined LM and LAD #Shockwave with prolonged LM balloon occlusion and coronary-aortic #hemodynamic uncoupling @TuftsMedicalCtr Mind your HQ curve. Single Perclose for ECP

[Dirk Westermann @dirkwestermann]

Very happy to see our #UNLOADECMO trial started in 12/22 with 4 patients already included.
#MCS therapy in cardiogenic shock still very challenging.
#ECLS-SHOCK (#ECMO)and #DanGer-Shock (#Impella) running already and will be finished soon.

What are we investigating?🧵1/6 below:

[Raj Tayal @RajTayalMD]

Proud to have done the first @Abiomed #Impella #LowProfile sheath in the world today @ValleyHospital! HUGE step forward in MCS, still allows for single access with 7Fr, takes away need for peel away, facilitates distal limb perfusion, pump removal and kink resistant for #PercAx!

If anyone ever asks you why 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘀...

[Mohit Pahuja @MohitpahujaMD]

Excited to share our manuscript on current Impella devices.
- Ongoing RCT will provide us essential evidence and guidance on how to treat these complex patients
- Will highly recommend checking the videos explaining the hemodynamic effects of Impella for each category

[Dr Robert L. Salazar @DrRobertSalazar]

Last week Dr. Prince and I were the first in Texas to implant the Impella RP Flex and second in the world!

BIG NEWS: The new 4K release of PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES contains the legendary 75 minutes of deleted scenes that have been whispered about for decades. Finally, witness John Candy smoke and eat a hot dog at the same time.

How we remove impella 5.5 to minimize strokes during heart transplant. What’s your method? @DrDePasquale @koriannj @AkiItohMD @DTPham_CVSurg @APolancoMD @EcmoNinja @PeterDowneyMD @SergeKobsaMD @USCHeartFailure @JJahanyarMDPhD @jaye_weston @Abiomed
