Summary

This study tests if a special balloon pump placed in a heart vein can reduce heart muscle damage when used alongside standard angioplasty in people having a major heart attack (STEMI). About 177 adults with moderate heart function will be randomly assigned to get the balloon pump plus angioplasty or angioplasty alone. The main goals are to see if the pump shrinks the heart attack size and if it is safe.
