Study Arms (2)
NyokAssist™
EXPERIMENTALIABP Intra-aortic balloon pump
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
The NyokAssist™ Ventricular Assist Device can be placed across the aortic valve using a single femoral site. The device pumps blood from the left ventricle into the ascending aorta .
IABP uses counterpulsation to provide coronary flow
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age eligible (18 ≤ Age ≤ 80)
- Subject is indicated for a non-emergent percutaneous treatment of at least one de novo or restenotic lesion in a native coronary vessel or bypass graft .
- Patient presence at least one of the following a or b:
- Intervention on an unprotected left main coronary artery or intervention on the last patent coronary artery .
- Intervention on patient presenting with three-vessel\* disease.
- Three-vessel disease was defined as the presence at least one sign ficant stenosis ≥ 50% in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and/or side branch, left circumflex artery (LCX) and/or side branch, and right coronary artery (RCA) and/or side branch. In the case of left coronary artery dominance, a lesion ≥ 50% in the proximal LAD and the LCX qualified as three-vessel disease.
- Ejection Fraction ≤40% or Coronary rotational atherectomy or According to the assessment of the cardiac team, PCI requires hemodynamic support .
- Volunteered to participate and Signed Informed Consent and able to cooperate with the whole trial process.
You may not qualify if:
- Acute ST elevation Myocardial Infarction within 24 hours or CK-MB that have not normalized after acute ST elevation Myocardial Infarction.
- Pre-procedure cardiac arrest within 24 hours of enrollment requiring CPR.
- Subject is in cardiogenic shock defined as:
- CI \< 2.2 L/min/m2 and PCWP \> 15 mmH
- Hypotension (systolic BP \< 90 mmHg for \>30 minutes or the need for supportive measures to maintain a systolic BP of greater than or equal to 90 mmHg) AND end organ hypoperfusion (cool extremities OR \[a urine output of \< 30 mL/hour AND a HR \> 60 BPM\])
- Mural thrombus in the left ventricle.
- The presence of aortic valve replacement or mechanical circulatory support device.
- Subject has mechanical complications of myocardial infarction.
- Documented presence of severe aortic stenosis.
- Documented presence of moderate to severe mitral stenosis.
- Documented presence of severe aortic insufficiency.
- Severe peripheral arterial obstructive disease that would preclude device placement.
- Abnormalities of the aorta that would preclude surgery, including aortic aneurysms,aortic dissection and extreme tortuosity or calcifications.
- Subject with renal failure (creatinine ≥265μmol/L)
- Subject with liver dysfunction ( liver enzymes and bilirubin levels ≥3x ULN )
- +8 more criteria
