At Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla, Impella is performed using advanced catheter-based technology and specialized cardiac support protocols. Established in 1988, the NABL accredited hospital in Delhi, India has 310 beds and provides comprehensive interventional and critical cardiac care.

Impella provides temporary assistance to the heart when the left ventricle is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs. Depending on the clinical situation, the device may be used during complex coronary procedures or as support for patients with severe cardiac dysfunction, including selected cases of cardiogenic shock. A catheter carrying the miniature pump is introduced through a large artery and advanced into the heart. Continuous monitoring helps doctors assess circulation and device performance.
