Impella 5.0 microaxial pump as a right ventricular assist device after surgical treatment of posterior post-infarction ventricular septal defect

The Impella Recover LP 5.0 is an aortic transvalvular microaxial pump designed to unload the left ventricle and to ensure a systemic flow in severe left ventricular dysfunction. We propose a new suggestion for the Impella 5.0 as a temporary right ventricular assist device after the surgical treatment of a posterior post-infarction ventricular septal...
