Abstract
The ImpellaR2.5 is a percutaneously placed, left ventricular assist device which provides up to 2.5 liters per minute of flow from the left ventricular cavity directly into the ascending aorta. The 12 Fr. pump is mounted on the distal end of a 9 Fr. catheter and connected to a mobile console. We report a patient undergoing temporary left ventricular support with an Impella R2.5 for the treatment of refractory pulmonary edema and severe left ventricular dysfunction following extensive myocardial infarction (Iranian Heart Journal 2009; 10 (2):34-36).
