Heart pump study for planned high-risk heart stent procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at using a temporary heart pump called Impella ECP during planned high-risk heart stent procedures (PCI). It may help doctors support the heart more safely while placing the stents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 90 years old.
- You can understand and sign the study consent form.
- Your heart team has decided you need an urgent or elective high-risk heart stent procedure (not an emergency).
- Your aortic valve and blood vessels are suitable for the pump to be placed (no blockage/shape problems; no significant valve disease).
- You do not have certain bleeding/clotting risks or medication limits (for example, cannot take heparin or aspirin if needed).
- You are not on dialysis, not pregnant, and you don’t have certain infection or recent COVID-19 history.

This trial tests a new device called the Supira system to support the heart during a high-risk procedure to open blocked arteries. It is for people who are stable enough to wait for the procedure (not in emergency or shock).
This study tests a device that helps keep blood moving during a high-risk angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). It may help patients who are not good candidates for standard angioplasty alone.
This trial tests a temporary heart pump (called the KARDION Cory P4) used during a high-risk angioplasty (stenting) procedure. The pump helps keep blood flowing in patients whose heart is weak or who have complex blockages, aiming to make the procedure safer.
This study tests whether using a special heart pump (called Impella) during a high-risk procedure to open blocked heart arteries can help protect your heart. It aims to see if this support improves the success and safety of the procedure in people with weak hearts.
This study looks at when to insert a small heart pump (Impella CP) in people who have had a heart attack and are in cardiogenic shock, a condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. The goal is to find out if placing the pump before or after the artery-opening procedure improves outcomes.
This study looks at how well the Impella CP heart pump works for people who have a severe heart attack that causes their heart to pump too weakly to keep blood flowing to their body. It's a registry that follows your care to improve best practices.
