New heart pump device aims to make risky procedures safer
NCT ID NCT05864248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a temporary heart pump called the Supira System in 71 people with severe coronary artery disease who need a high-risk procedure to open blocked arteries. The pump supports the heart for up to 4 hours during the procedure to prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure. Researchers are checking if the device is safe and works as intended.
