Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • the rate of post-cardiotomy cardiac failure

    Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week

  • All-cause mortality

    90 Days after procedure

  • Stroke (as defined by STS)

    Postoperative stroke (cerebrovascular accident) consisting of any confirmed neurological deficit of abrupt onset caused by a disturbance in blood supply to the brain that did not resolve within 24 hours.

    90 Days after procedure

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • New requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT)

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Number of attempts to wean from CPB

    Until CPB was removed, on average 72 hours

  • Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Through ICU Discharge, on average 3 days

  • Acute Kidney Injury (a modified KDIGO stages 2-3)

    Within 7 days or at ICU discharge whichever comes first

  • Adequate hemodynamic support

    Until Pulmonary Artery Catheter was removed, on average 3 days

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Technical Success

    Time of CPB removed, on average at 72 hours

  • Length of ICU stay in days

    Through ICU discharge, on average 3 days

  • Length of hospital stay in days

    Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week

  • +3 more other outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment with Impella 5.5 System

OTHER
Device: Device: Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist

Interventions

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.

Treatment with Impella 5.5 System

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

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
