New heart pump aims to make risky angioplasty safer
NCT ID NCT07149714
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a temporary heart pump called iVAC 2L in 100 patients undergoing high-risk angioplasty. The pump helps stabilize blood flow during the procedure. Researchers will track deaths, heart attacks, strokes, and other complications for up to a year to see if the device improves safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iVAC 2L transaortic device (temporary mechanical heart pump)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could provide a safer way to perform high-risk angioplasty in patients with severe coronary artery disease, potentially reducing deaths and major complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device carries risks like bleeding, infection, or limb ischemia, and it is not yet proven to improve long-term outcomes.
