The PROTECT-EU Study

Recruiting
Conditions
High-risk PCI
Registration Number
NCT05466552
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione GISE Onlus
Brief Summary

The PROTECT-EU Registry is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-national registry to evaluate 90 days outcomes in high risk-PCI (Percutaneous coronary intervention) patients treated with a preventive strategy with Impella CP® System.

Detailed Description

The PROTECT-EU Registry is a prospective multinational registry on preventive left ventricular support with Impella in high-risk PCI treated patients. The aim is to confirm and improve the Impella effectiveness in a selected all comers high risk population undergoing supported HR-PCI (high risk-PCI) with Impella implantation before PCI.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients with non-emergent chronic or acute coronary syndromes (the former refused from surgical revascularization) with reduced LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)(<=40%) and indication for high-risk PCI AND

Intended high-risk PCI defined as having at least one of the following criteria:

  • Unprotected left main distal disease involving bifurcation or trifurcation or left main equivalent
  • Diffuse degenerated (>5 mm) saphenous vein grafts involving the proximal or distal anastomosis or in-stent restenosis
  • LAD (left anterior descending) long lesions (>48 mm) involving both septal and diagonal branches requiring multiple and overlapping stents
  • Diffuse and severely calcified lesions (see protocol definition) with need for debulking devices (directional, rotational, orbital, and laser)
  • Last patent conduit
  • Complex CTO (chronic total occlusion) (J-CTO score 3) or CTO in patients with MVD (Coronary Microvascular Disease)
  • MV-PCI (Multivessel Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) in patient with a Syntax score>32 undergoing planned complete revascularization (see protocol definition of severe stenosis)
  • (only in ACS Acute Coronary Syndrome patients) Giant thrombus (length ≥3x vessel diameter) in the context of MVD or Syntax score >32.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Classic CS Coronary Sinus (relative hypotension as SBP < 90 mmHg, or MAP <60 mmHg or >30 mmHg drop from baseline and drugs/device used to maintain blood pressure above these targets and/or symptoms/signs of hypoperfusion as cardiac index <2.2, lactate ≥ 2mmol/L (24).
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Patients admitted for ACS due to ST-elevation MI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction)
  • Contraindication to Impella positioning: mural thrombus in the left ventricle; presence of a mechanical aortic valve; severe aortic stenosis or valvular regurgitation; severe peripheral arterial disease precluding placement of the Impella System; haematological disorder causing fragility of the blood cells or hemolysis; hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM); aneurysm or severe anomaly of the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch; significant right heart failure; presence of an atrial or ventricular sepal defect (including post-infarct VSD Ventricular Septal Defect); left ventricular rupture; cardiac tamponade; recent TIA or stroke (within 1 month); contraindication to anticoagulation
  • Age < 18 or > 80 years old
  • Inability to understand and sign informed consent
  • Serious known concomitant disease with a life expectancy of less than one year
  • Prior thrombolytic therapy during the index event (within 72 h of presentation)
  • Severe renal impairment Renal insufficiency (GFR Glomerular Filtration Rate <30 ml/min)
  • Patients on oral anticoagulation therapy (including novel oral anticoagulant such as dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban) at the time of PCI
  • Suspected or known pregnancy
  • Suspected active infection
  • Current participation in an investigational study using a drug or device.
