Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction | Device: PiCSO Impulse System | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 25 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, parallel-groups, pilot stage study |
Masking: | Single (Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Analysis of the secondary efficacy endpoint, changes in left and right ventricular function, will be analyzed by an independent Corelab, blinded to the allocated treatment arm. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Randomized, Controlled, Pilot Study to Evaluate Safety and Feasibility of Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) Therapy in Patients With ST Elevation Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction Presenting With TIMI 0 or 1 and Symptom Duration ≤ 12 Hours Treated Adjunct to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Compared to Standard PCI. |
Actual Study Start Date : | February 14, 2022 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | February 6, 2023 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | February 6, 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control
This is the actual control group receiving conventional therapy, ie. percutaneous coronary intervention.
|
|
Experimental: PiCSO
This arm will be treated with Pressure controlled intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) in addition to conventional therapy (percutaneous coronary intervention).
|
Device: PiCSO Impulse System
After blood flow restoration, the subjects meeting all eligibility criteria will be enrolled into the study and randomized either to PiCSO Group or Control Group. If the subject is randomized to PiCSO Group, the coronary sinus (CS) will be cannulated through the femoral vein and the PiCSO Impulse Catheter will be placed in the CS. Once PiCSO Impulse Catheter is placed into CS, PiCSO treatment is started followed by stenting. The physician shall target a PiCSO treatment of 45 minutes whereas the treatment should be continued during and post stent insertion. At the end of the PiCSO treatment, the PiCSO Impulse Console is stopped and the PiCSO Impulse Catheter is removed. |
