New study tracks impella use in heart attack shock patients
NCT ID NCT06964685
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study observes up to 350 patients who had a heart attack complicated by cardiogenic shock and received an Impella CP heart pump during artery-opening procedures. Researchers will track safety issues like major bleeding, limb problems, and kidney injury, as well as survival and heart-related events over one year. The goal is to understand how best practices with Impella affect outcomes in this critically ill group.

Inclusion Criteria: * Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) of \<36 hours duration from symptom onset to cath lab arrival, confirmed by: * ECG and/or biomarker evidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), STEMI equivalents, or new or presumed new left bundle branch block or * ECG and/or biomarker evidence of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and angiographic evidence of one or more culprit vessels * Cardiogenic shock confirmed by at least two of the following: * Tissue hypoperfusion, manifested by an arterial or venous blood lactate level ≥2.5 mmol/L or SvO2 \<55% in the presence of a PaO2 \> 90mmHg * Systolic blood pressure \<100 mmHg or need for vasoactive agents to maintain systolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg * Hemodynamic criteria represented by a cardiac index of \<2.2 L/min/m\^2 or a cardiac power output ≤0.6 W * Cardiogenic shock that develops under one of the following conditions: * prior to primary PCI, with \<24 hours from the onset of shock to cath lab arrival, or * \<12 hours after initiating primary PCI * Patient was supported with Impella CP as the initial MCS device for cardiogenic shock * Age ≥18 years * Europe only: Subject or legally designated representative (LDR) or Independent Physician has provided written informed consent for participation in the observational study Exclusion Criteria: * Any contraindication listed in the Impella CP IFU if known to be present (i.e. mural thrombus in the left ventricle; presence of a mechanical aortic valve or heart constrictive device; aortic valve stenosis/calcification (equivalent to an orifice area of 0.6 cm2 or less); moderate to severe aortic insufficiency (echocardiographic assessment graded as ≥ +2); severe arterial disease precluding placement of the Impella system; presence of an atrial or ventricular septal defect (including post-infarct VSD); significant right heart failure; left ventricular rupture; cardiac tamponade; combined cardiorespiratory failure). * Shock principally due to a cause other than LV failure, including: * RV infarction, hypovolemia, anaphylaxis, hemorrhage, sepsis, myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, or high cardiac output shock * Severe arrhythmias as the primary cause of low cardiac output, including acute bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, or advanced heart block * Known mechanical complications of AMI that may cause cardiogenic shock such as free wall rupture, ventricular septal defect or papillary muscle rupture with acute mitral regurgitation * Procedural complication of the PCI that results in coronary perforation * Other mechanical circulatory support already in place for present indication, including intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation or patients with Impella CP placement prior to transfer to the cath lab at the tertiary facility * Acute or chronic aortic dissection * Prior PCI at another institution for the present infarction * Thrombolytic therapy for the present infarction * Not obeying verbal commands after preadmission or in-hospital cardiac arrest, indicative of possible anoxic brain injury NOTE: * Non-intubated subjects: A positive and appropriate response to commands must be repeatable on at least two (2) instances to rule out reflex response to voice * Intubated subjects are excluded if: They were not following verbal commands immediately prior to intubation, or They were not clearly following verbal commands after intubation within 6 hours post-PCI * Infective endocarditis * Other severe, concomitant disease with limited life expectancy \<1 year (other than cardiogenic shock) * Participation in the active treatment or follow-up phase of another clinical study of an investigational drug or device that has not reached the timing of its primary endpoint
