Johnson & Johnson model projects lower lifetime costs with Impella versus balloon pump in high-risk PCI
JNJ•A model projects lower lifetime healthcare costs and better quality-adjusted survival with Impella heart pumps than with intra-aortic balloon pumps for heart failure patients undergoing high-risk PCI. Johnson & Johnson plans to present 26 Impella abstracts at TCT 2026, Oct. 31-Nov. 3 in San Diego.
