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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Multidisciplinary heart team consensus for high-risk PCI. HR-PCI was defined as any percutaneous intervention for coronary disease involving an unusually high risk of periprocedural circulatory collapse. * Signed Informed Consent to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Femoral artery diameter \< 6.0mm * Significant biventricular or right heart failure * Thrombus in the left ventricle * Presence of a mechanical aortic valve * Aortic valve stenosis/calcification (equivalent to an orifice area of 0.6 cm2 or less) or moderate-to-severe aortic insufficiency (echocardiographic assessment graded as ≥+2) * Severe peripheral arterial disease precluding placement of the iVAC2L * Combined cardiorespiratory failure * Presence of an atrial or ventricular septal defect (including post infarct VSD) * Left ventricular rupture * Cardiac tamponade * Presence of any other subtype of shock * Known severe comorbidities independently affecting prognosis (chronic renal or liver failure, active malignancies etc.) * Recent major bleeding event (\< 3 months) * Recent stroke (\< 3 months)
