Door To Unloading With IMPELLA CP System in Acute Myocardial Infarction - Safety and Feasibility Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
STEMI
Interventions
Device: Impella unloading prior to PPCI
Registration Number
NCT03000270
Lead Sponsor
Abiomed Inc.
Brief Summary

Direct active unloading of the left ventricle with the Impella CP System prior to PPCI in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is safe and feasible

Detailed Description

A multi-center, prospective, randomized, two-arm feasibility trial to assess the potential role of unloading with the Impella CP prior to revascularization in reducing infarct size. The study design includes 1:1 randomization between: 1) Delay Arm: 30 minutes of unloading with Impella CP prior to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI); and 2) Immediate Arm: initiation of Impella CP unloading followed immediately by PPCI.

Study Hypothesis: Direct active unloading of the left ventricle with the Impella CP System prior to PPCI in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is safe and feasible
