Coronary sinus balloon pump for heart attack patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a heart attack (STEMI) within the last 24 hours.
- Your heart's pumping function is moderately reduced (between 35% and 50%).
- The blocked artery is in the front wall of your heart (left anterior descending artery).
- You are eligible for a procedure to open the blocked artery (primary PCI).

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.
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 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.
This trial tests a small device called a coronary sinus reducer that is placed in a vein of the heart to improve blood flow and reduce chest pain in people who still have angina despite medications and cannot have stents or bypass surgery. The procedure is done through a small tube in the groin or arm.
This trial tests if using a special temporary heart pump during a procedure to open blocked heart arteries is safe and helps people with weak hearts. The pump supports the heart while the doctor works, and the goal is to improve blood flow and heart function.
