Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: PROTHERACYTES
The interventional investigators will perform the ProtheraCytes® endocardiac injections using the HELIX® catheter introduced via the femoral route up to the left ventricle cavity.
|
Drug: PROTHERACYTES
ProtheraCytes endocardiac injections performed with the HELIX and Morph catheters |
Active Comparator: Standard of Care
Patients will undergo standard of care procedure (PTCA Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty and stent(s) implantations)
|
Device: Standard of Care (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty and stent(s) implantation) |
- Proportion of adverse events (including MACE), defined as the proportion of subjects with at least one adverse event from baseline until 6 months. [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
- Improvement of the Left Ventricle End Systolic Volume index will be assessed by cMRI. The left ventricular volumes will be indexed to body surface area. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
