Heart pump support for stenting in severe heart disease
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- Your heart's pumping strength must be low (below 35%).
- You must have severe blockages in the heart arteries that might benefit from a procedure to open them (angioplasty with stents).
- You cannot have had a temporary heart pump (like IABP, ECMO, or Impella) already in place.
- You cannot have had a heart attack within the last 7 days.
- You must be willing to follow the study plan and come for check-ups.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stents (PCI)—in people whose heart pumps weakly (LVEF 40% or less). It aims to find which method works better for chest pain or recent heart issues.
This trial tests a temporary heart pump to support patients with weak hearts (ejection fraction 35% or less) who need a high-risk stent procedure instead of bypass surgery. The pump may help keep blood flowing during the procedure.
This study compares two types of temporary heart pumps used during a high-risk angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked heart arteries). It aims to see which one provides better support for patients with weak hearts, potentially leading to safer outcomes.
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 whether using a small mechanical pump inside the heart plus careful monitoring with a special catheter can help people in shock after a heart attack. It compares this approach to standard care, aiming to improve survival and recovery.
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.
