Impella Pump Return Study to Analyze Deposits and Biomaterial in Used Pumps

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Heart Failure

• Registration Number: NCT06765226
• Lead Sponsor: Abiomed Inc.

Brief Summary

Analysis of cell and protein deposits on the Impella Heart Pump.

Detailed Description

The Impella heart pump supports patients in cardiogenic shock for various reasons and has passed safety and biocompatibility evaluations. The planned investigation aims to further analyze cell and protein adhesion on these pumps and the effects of their prolonged use, especially in scenarios like bridge-to-transplant, recognizing preclinical testing limitations.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Investigate deposits and biomaterial after use of pump	through study completion, at least 25 days	investigate Impella 5.5 pumps after use regarding deposits and biomaterial

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Relation deposits and biomaterial to clinical events	through study completion, at least 25 days	By correlating patient data, such as medical history and Impella 5.5 related blood parameters, with the findings from our pump analysis, potential connections between medication, diseases, comorbidities, and deposits on the pump can be identified.
