5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to determine ventricular loading conditions during and after PulseCath® iVAC2L support, and assess its impact on specific load dependent humoral factors and cardiac enzymes. These specific patterns are so far unknown and will be evaluated invasively.
Detailed Description
This is a mechanistic exploratory study. The objective is to determine the effects of the new PFLVAD PulseCath® iVAC2L on ventricular loading using left ventricular pressure-volume loops, in association with systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters obtained from right and left catheterization. Additionally, assessments of specific load and flow-dependent humoral factors and cardiac enzymes will be made during and after the use of mechanical circulatory support. These specific patterns are so far unknown. Knowledge of optimal patterns may help in determining the ideal circulatory device platform.

It is a binary outcome (yes/no answer). No time-to-event analysis will be applied.
Time Frame
Assessed at the end of the PCI. This time point (end of PCI) can be variable and is estimated in 40 to 270 minutes after the beginning of the procedure.
Title
Time of hospitalization
Description
Time to hospital discharge (in days).
Time Frame
30 days follow up
Title
Change in Left ventricular ejection fraction
Description
Numerical continuous variable. Change in LVEF measured by trans-thoracic echocardiography at baseline and discharge. Not a time-to-event variable. Unit: %
Time Frame
From baseline (beginning of PCI) to the moment of discharge, assessed up to 30 days.
