Did you or someone close to you receive an Abiomed Impella Heart Pump implant between October 10, 2021, and October 10, 2023?
If so, you may be eligible for compensation.
The FDA has issued a recall for the instructions related to the device due to concerns that the pump catheter might puncture the wall of the left ventricle in the heart. During surgical procedures, there is a risk that the Impella device could penetrate the left ventricular wall. Using an affected Impella pump may result in serious adverse health consequences, including:
- Left Ventricle Perforation or Free Wall Rupture
- Hypertension
- Lack of Blood Flow
- Death
This device is commonly used for individuals with anterior infarction (heart disease), particularly among the elderly and women. It is threaded through blood vessels to take on the heart's workload in patients undergoing complex procedures or dealing with life-threatening conditions.
Impacted blood pumps include:
- Impella 2.5
- Impella CP
- Impella CP with SmartAssist
- Impella 5.0
- Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist
