Coronary sinus balloon pump for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that may help support the heart during emergency treatment for a severe heart attack. It is for patients who have had symptoms for 6 to 24 hours and have a weakened heart muscle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are having a heart attack that started 6 to 24 hours ago.
- Your heart's pumping ability is reduced (ejection fraction 50% or less).
- The blockage is in a specific part of the main artery on the front of the heart.
- You are eligible for emergency angioplasty (PCI) to open the blocked artery.
- You do not have certain other heart conditions, severe kidney problems, or recent strokes.

This trial tests a new device, the coronary sinus balloon pump, which is placed in a vein of the heart to help it pump better after a heart attack. It is for people who have had a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) and have some heart damage but are not in severe heart failure.
This trial tests a heart medication (a cardio-selective beta-blocker) given during a heart attack to see if it reduces damage to the heart muscle. It might help people having their first heart attack who are treated quickly with angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries).
This trial tests if a special balloon that releases medication can be used instead of a stent during emergency angioplasty for certain heart attacks. It may help patients who are having a first-time heart attack and are stable enough for the procedure.
This study tests whether a remote, arm-based treatment done around the time of a heart attack can improve outcomes in people with STEMI (a serious heart-attack type). Some participants receive the real treatment and some receive a sham version, while others may be followed observationally depending on how long ago symptoms started.
This trial tests a new way to treat heart attacks by using a special balloon to deliver medication to the heart's small blood vessels during a standard stenting procedure. It may help reduce damage to the heart muscle after a heart attack.
This trial tests whether using a balloon pump before opening a completely blocked main heart artery can improve outcomes in people who arrive at the hospital 4 to 12 hours after a large heart attack. The balloon pump helps the heart pump blood while the artery is being opened with a stent.
