Trial summary

The present study introduces a novel approach to coronary revascularization through the use of a short term minimally-invasive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to minimize myocardial injury and eliminate low output state during the perioperative period Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients fitting inclusion criteria will undergo Impella supported OPCABG using coronary shunts. Inclusion criteria will target patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, similarly defined to the STICH trial which evaluated coronary revascularization in the setting of heart failure (defined by an EF≤35%). Patients would be considered for enrollment in the setting of symptomatic severe multi-vessel coronary artery disease with target vessels that are amenable to bypass (as determined by the operating surgeon).

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ 18 years old
  • Ejection fraction ≤ 35%
  • Symptomatic three vessel Coronary Artery Disease with target vessels that are amenable to bypass (as determined by the operating surgeon) or Left main disease
  • Adequate Distal target caliber (as determined by the PI or operating surgeon)

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion criteria will include the existing contraindications to either Impella therapy or OPCABG revascularization:
  • Patients with structural heart disease requiring cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Patients with cardiogenic shock who require a period of short-term mechanical circulatory support
  • Patients with mechanical aortic valve
  • Patients with previous median sternotomy
  • Patients with evidence of non-viability on preoperative cardiac MRI or CT scan

  • Insufficient conduit
  • BMI over 50
  • Suspected or known pregnancy

About this study

Official title: Impella-supported Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in High Risk Revascularizations: a Single Center Prospective Observational Study

The present study introduces a novel approach to coronary revascularization through the use of a short term minimally-invasive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to minimize myocardial injury and eliminate low output state during the perioperative period

Being tested
Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist Supported OPCABG

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist Supported OPCABGDevice

    Subjects will undergo insertion of an axillary or ascending aortic Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist, followed by Impella-supported OPCABG using a sternotomy approach with shunting of the coronary arteries to achieve myocardial protection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intraoperative hemodynamic stability

    Intraoperative hemodynamic stability, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), central venous pressure (CVP), and cerebral perfusion as measured by NIRS maintained within normal ranges for the entire operative time except potentially for short periods not exceeding 10 minutes in total time.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by Lucian Archambault Durham III at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraoperative hemodynamic stability (time frame: Intraoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2025.
