Study Arms (1)
Treatment with Impella 5.5 System
OTHERInterventions
Patients who are deemed high-risk due to low preoperative ejection fraction undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) which will be supported by the Impella 5.5 System.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Hemodynamically stable patients undergoing one (1) of the following cardiac surgery procedures on CPB including aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegic arrest
- Isolated CABG
- Isolated mitral valve repair or replacement (MVR)
- Isolated aortic valve repair or replacement (AVR)
- At lest two of the following: CABG, MVR, AVR, or tricuspid valve repair or replacement (TVR)
- LVEF within 30 days before surgery of either:
- ≤25% measured by echocardiogram or
- LVEF ≤35% as above for patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR 3+ or 4+; see definition) and planned corrective mitral valve surgery (including MV replacement or repair)
- Age 18 years or older
- Subject has signed informed consent form and is willing and able to attend all follow-up visits and to perform all tests.
- Patient is eligible to receive the Impella 5.5 as per the current IFU.
You may not qualify if:
- Salvage operation (cardiac arrest within 24 hours prior to index surgery)
- Unresponsive state within 24 hours of the time of surgery
- Any inotrope within 72 hours of surgery
- Any mechanical MCS device (such as IABP, ECMO, Impella®, CentriMag™ or TandemHeart®) in place prior to informed consent
- RV dysfunction requiring mechanical or inotropic support preoperatively and/or likely to be needed postoperatively
- Index procedures requiring total circulatory arrest (TCA), such as aortic arch replacement, planned durable LVAD, durable RVAD, planned right-sided temporary mechanical support of any kind, total artificial heart (TAH), cardiac transplantation, pericardiectomy, pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and septal myectomy
- Restrictive or obstructive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, restrictive pericarditis, pericardial tamponade or other conditions in which cardiac output is dependent on venous return
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
- Stroke within 30 days of the index cardiac surgical procedure
- Prior mantle field chest irradiation
- Prior solid organ or hematologic transplantation (heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, bone marrow) or durable LVAD
- History of chronic dialysis
- Pre-existing liver dysfunction defined as Child-Pugh Class B or C
- Pre-existing pulmonary disease requiring home oxygen, or "severe pulmonary disease" determined by enrolling investigator
- Systemic active infection or evidence of systemic bacterial, fungal or viral infection within 72 hours before surgery (blood culture positive with leukocytosis)
- +9 more criteria
