IMPELLA 2.5 LABELING 27 Indication for Use The Impella 2.5 System is a temporary (< 6 hours) ventricular support device indicated for use during high risk PCI in elective or urgent, hemodynamically stable patients with severe CAD and depressed LVEF, when a heart team, including a cardiac surgeon, has determined high risk PCI is the appropriate therapeutic option. Use of the Impella 2.5 in these patients may prevent hemodynamic instability which can result from repeat episodes of reversible myocardial ischemia that occur during planned temporary coronary occlusions and may reduce periand post-procedural adverse events.
IMPELLA 2.5 LABELING 28 Warnings and Contraindications The Impella 2.5 is contraindicated for use : (1) mural thrombus in the left ventricle; (2) Mechanical aortic valve or heart constrictive device; (3) Aortic valve stenosis/calcification (equivalent to an orifice of 0.6 cm2 or less); (4) Moderate to severe aortic insufficiency (echocardiographic assessment of aortic insufficiency graded as +2); and (5) Severe peripheral arterial disease that precludes the placement of the Impella 2.5 Additionally, potential for the following risks has been found to exist with use of the Impella 2.5: Acute renal dysfunction; Aortic insufficiency; Aortic valve injury; Atrial fibrillation; Bleeding; Cardiogenic shock; Cardiac tamponade; Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Cerebral vascular accident/stroke; Death; Device malfunction; Failure to achieve angiographic success; Hemolysis; Hepatic failure; Insertion site infection; Limb ischemia; Myocardial infarction; Need for cardiac, thoracic or abdominal operation; Perforation; Renal failure; Repeat revascularization; Respiratory dysfunction; Sepsis; Severe hypotension; Thrombocytopenia; Thrombotic vascular (non-cns) complication; Transient ischemic attack; Vascular injury; Ventricular arrhythmia, fibrillation or tachycardia The Impella 2.5 s product labeling allows for the clinical decision to leave Impella 2.5 in place beyond the intended duration of <6 hours due to unforeseen circumstances.
SUMMARY OF PROTECT II 29 1. Candidates are hemodynamically stable, higher risk patients that have depressed LVEF, complex CAD, & co-morbidities 2. Higher risk patients are appropriate for revascularization according to AUC criteria; a heart team should determine PCI or CABG 3. Impella is the only hemodynamic support device proven safe and effective in elective and urgent High Risk PCI patients 4. Benefits from a Protected PCI may include: More complete revascularization with reduction in MACCE Reduction in symptoms and class of heart failure Improvement in LVEF post procedure Reduction in days in the hospital Reduction in readmissions due to fewer repeat procedures 5. Clinical guidelines and the FDA approval support the use of Impella 2.5 for Protected PCI in this higher risk patient population

Absolute Reasons to use TandemHeart over Impella LV thrombus Significant native aortic valve disease AS or AI Metallic aortic valve prosthesis Support during TAVR (?) Severe aortic pathology Pedunculated atheromatous disease etc Kovacic et al. CCI; 2013
Objectives for Circulatory Support TandemHeart is designed to meet two objectives for circulatory support: Augment the flow of oxygenated blood to vital organs Decompress the left ventricle to reduce cardiac work W = V f pdv V i Work is a function of both Pressure and Volume Different cannulation & pump types have different performance profiles.
Average Flow (L/min) TandemHeart vs. LV-Axial Support TandemHeart operates at 90 mmhg pressure, similar to a healthy native heart All LV-axial devices operate at lower pressures (60 mmhg) Performance is defined by a combination of pressure and flow Pressure (mmhg) Flow (L/min) Power (Watts) Healthy Left Ventricle 90 5.0 1.00 TandemHeart @ 7,500 rpm 90 4.4 0.88 21 Fr Axial @ P9 60 4.4 0.59 14 Fr Axial @ P8 60 3.3 0.44 12 Fr Axial @ P8 60 2.1 0.28 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 Power Output (Watts) 0.59 0.44 0.28 1.00 0.88 Healthy Left Ventricle TandemHeart @ 7,500 rpm 21 Fr Axial @ P9 14 Fr Axial @ P8 12 Fr Axial @ P8 1.0 50 60 70 80 90 100 Average Pressure (mmhg)

Summary of Device Performance TandemHeart Transseptal Support Physiologic pressure (90 mmhg) and flow (4-5 L/min) Maximum left ventricular unloading, up to 80-90% More complex insertion requiring trans-septal puncture LV-Axial Circulatory Support (e.g., Impella) Comparable flow to TH only with largest device Lower pressure capability (60 mmhg) Ease of use; no trans-septal puncture; only needs arterial access Percutaneous Cardiopulmonary Bypass (i.e., VA ECMO) Physiologic pressure & flow, but Significant increase in left ventricular pressure, volume & strain
