4/ Impellas are placed via femoral or axillary artery, into the aorta, & across the aortic valve. There is an inlet on the LV side and an outlet on the aortic side. There are a number of different Impellas, each of which have different flow rates, lumen size, and access needs. 👇

Great app, gives you more control over playback, downloading, and allows you to categorize your podcasts into playlists (picture 2). This is where you get to customize your #FOAMed experience! #medtwitter
