Brief Summary
The ELEVATE III Pivotal Study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, interventional, randomized, controlled study with an active control group. The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of the Elevate™ percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Device System in patients referred to high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR-PCI).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
A composite of the incidence of major safety and effectiveness parameters.
A composite of the incidence of: 1. Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE): Death, Myocardial Infarction, Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack, Unplanned Repeat Revascularization; 2. Major intra-procedural hemodynamic events on Mechanical Circulatory Support: Severe Hypotension, Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation or Cardioversion; 3. Major Mechanical Circulatory Support-related access site complications: Vascular Injury Requiring Intervention or Access Site Bleeding.
30 days
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Major Hemolysis during index hospitalization
Perioperative/Periprocedural
Incidence of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) Type 3 or Type 5 bleeding events related to the index percutaneous coronary intervention.

Interventions
The Elevate System is a catheter- mounted, self-expanding and retrievable, continuous-flow pump, designed to unload the left ventricle by actively transporting blood from the left ventricle into the ascending aorta, thus augmenting cardiac output and maintaining systemic arterial pressure during complex/high-risk coronary interventions. Subjects will receive an Elevate prior to their high-risk percutaneous intervention.
Subjects will receive an Impella prior to their high-risk percutaneous intervention.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Non-emergent, percutaneous coronary intervention is planned on at least one stenotic lesion of a native coronary artery or bypass graft (de novo or restenosis).
- A heart team that includes an interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon has determined that HR- PCI is an appropriate therapeutic option.
- Participant signed the informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- Cardiogenic shock or acutely decompensated pre-existing chronic heart failure.
- Prior stroke with any permanent, significant (mRS\>2) neurological deficit, or stroke or TIA within 3 months prior to enrollment.
- Any condition or scheduled surgery that will require discontinuation of the antiplatelet and/or anticoagulation therapy within 90 days of the index procedure.
- Evidence of left ventricular thrombus.
- Aortic valve stenosis/calcification (valve area ≤ 1.5 cm2).
- ≥ Moderate aortic valve regurgitation (≥ 2+ on a 4-grade scale by transthoracic echocardiography).
- Femoral access site incompatibility that precludes placement of either the Treatment or Control device.
- Patient on dialysis.
- Known or suspected coagulopathy OR abnormal coagulation parameters.
- Known allergy, sensitivity or intolerance to nickel.
- Infection of the proposed procedural access site; OR suspected systemic active infection, including any fever or known active COVID-19 infection.
- Allergy, sensitivity or intolerance to heparin, or contrast media, including known heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
- Any non-cardiac condition with a life expectancy \< 12 months.
- Subject participation in another investigational drug or device trial (with the exception of post-market registries and observational studies, subject to Sponsor review and approval).
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
