Abiomed's Heart Pump Can Improve Outcomes in Some Patients
The use of Abiomed's (NASDAQ: ABMD) Impella heart pumps reduced the rate of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and repeat procedures in high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, according to a new study.
The interim data from the healthcare company's single-arm PROTECT III study reflects patient outcomes for 1,143 patients who underwent elective non-emergent PCI with an Impella pump between March 2017 and September 2019.
