A new heart pump for high-risk stent procedures
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device (the VentriCure) that temporarily helps your heart pump during a stent procedure. It is for people with heart failure and blocked arteries who are at high risk for bypass surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need treatment to improve blood flow to your heart, but bypass surgery is too risky or you do not want it.
- Your heart's pumping strength is 35% or lower, or it is 40% or lower with severe heart failure.
- You are eligible for a stent procedure (PCI) based on imaging tests.
- You do not have certain health conditions like recent heart attack, chronic kidney disease, severe bleeding risk, or recent stroke.

This trial tests a new heart pump (Ventiflow LP) that helps support the heart during a procedure to open blocked coronary arteries (angioplasty or PCI) in people whose hearts are weak. It may help those who are too high risk for bypass surgery.
This study tests a temporary heart pump called Phimume® that is inserted through a blood vessel in the leg to help your heart pump blood during a high-risk heart procedure. It is for people with very weak hearts who cannot safely have standard heart surgery.
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 trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
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 treatment options for adults with significantly reduced heart pumping strength and extensive coronary artery disease. It may help people who are at higher risk due to widespread blocked heart arteries, but eligibility depends on recent heart events and bleeding risk.
