Abstract

This case report explores the successful use of the Impella 5.5 (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA) device in a 22 kg, 0.89 body surface area (BSA) pediatric patient with longstanding dilated cardiomyopathy and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. The article details the device selection, management, and outcome demonstrating the feasibility and potential benefits of the Impella 5.5 as a device within the pediatric population.
