North Texas Doctors Use World's Smallest Heart Pump
NBC5 anchor/reporter Brian Curtis has interviewed Dr. Robert Stoler, an interventional cardiologist on staff at Baylor Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital, about a new device that may allow select patients avoid open heart surgery and have their heart repaired in the cath lab. Dr. Stoler implanted an Impella device, which acts as a small mechanical heart, prior to beginning extensive stent placement. The device ensured that the heart continued to pump blood through the heart, similar to a way a by-pass (heart/lung) machine is used during open heart surgery.
