4.
Assess the anastomosis for hemostasis.
5.
Attach a standard 6 Fr introducer to the distal end of the graft.
6.
Advance a diagnostic catheter (Abiomed recommends a 6 Fr AL1 or Multipurpose
without side holes or 4–5 Fr pigtail with or without side holes) over a diagnostic 0.035
inch or 0.038 inch guidewire into the left ventricle.
7.
Remove the diagnostic guidewire and exchange it for the supplied 0.018 inch
placement guidewire.
8.
Tighten the vessel loops to control bleeding and remove the 6 Fr introducer.
9.
Moisten the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter and push one of the silicone plugs onto the catheter
shaft adjacent to the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter motor.
10.
Backload the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter onto the 0.018 inch guidewire (as described in the
steps in previous section).
11.
With the graft held at the base, place the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter into the open end of
the graft up to the level of the silicone plug.
12.
Secure umbilical tape around the silicone plug.
13.
Loosen both vessel loops and advance the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter along the guidewire
into the left ventricle until it is properly positioned.
To prevent device failure, do not start the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter until the placement
guidewire has been removed.
Do
NOT
remove the Impella
®
5.0 Catheter over the length of the placement
guidewire.
14.
Remove the guidewire.
15.
Apply digital pressure to control bleeding at the base of the graft and remove the
silicone plug.
16.
Trim any excess graft and slide the repositioning sheath into position.
17.
Using a heavy silk tie or umbilical tape, secure the graft around the yellow hub of the
repositioning sheath.
18.
Close the wound over the trimmed graft with the end of the repositioning sheath clearly
visible. The steering catheter for the Impella
®
5.0 can be manipulated if needed by
securing the repositioning sheath and moving the catheter in or out.
19.
Extend the sterile sleeve. Attach one end to the repositioning hub and anchor the other
to the catheter.
