NCT ID NCT07704424
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a temporary heart pump called the CorVad system in people with severe right heart failure that does not improve with standard medications. The pump is placed through a blood vessel to help the right ventricle pump blood, giving the heart a chance to recover or bridging patients to a heart transplant or a permanent heart pump. The study includes 6 participants and focuses on safety and whether the device works as intended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a temporary heart pump called the CorVad Percutaneous Ventricular Assist System (device model CorVad RS) that helps the right ventricle pump blood
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a temporary lifeline for people with severe right heart failure, helping them survive until a heart transplant or other long-term therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device carries risks like bleeding, infection, or device malfunction.
