  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients that have developed signs of right ventricular failure either: A) within 48 hours post-implantation of an FDA approved implantable surgical LVAD (left ventricular assist device )(Cohort A) or B) subsequent to postcardiotomy shock within 48 hours post surgery or post myocardial infarction (Cohort B).
  • Age ≥18 years old
  • Signed Informed consent

Who cannot join

  • INTERMACS 1 patients (Critical cardiogenic shock patient who is "crashing and burning", has life-threatening hypotension and rapidly escalating inotropic or pressor support, with critical organ hypoperfusion often confirmed by worsening acidosis and lactate levels)
  • Evidence of acute neurologic injury
  • RA(right atrium),RV (right Ventricle) and/or PA (pulmonary artery) thrombus
  • Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies
  • Existing congenital heart disease that would preclude the insertion of the device.
  • Participation in any other clinical investigation that is likely to confound study results or affect study outcome

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IMPELLA® RP in people with Right Heart Failure, run by Abiomed Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Benefit Endpoint (time frame: 30 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01777607, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
