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.
