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. |
- 12% performance goal rate of PiCSO device or PiCSO procedure related adverse events reported through 30 days [ Time Frame: 30 days post index PCI ]
Primary safety endpoint is based on a 12% performance goal rate of PiCSO device or PiCSO procedure related adverse events reported through 30 days post treatment in patients randomized to PiCSO Group in which the PiCSO treatment was delivered or attempted to be delivered. These events will consist of the composite of:
-
Femoral venous access site complications:
- Major bleed (BARC 3-5)
- Infections requiring systemic (oral or intravenous) antibiotic treatment
- Any femoral access site-related events requiring surgery
- Coronary sinus dissection requiring percutaneous intervention or surgery

- Embolization or Thrombosis
- Stroke

- Cardiovascular death
- Cardiovascular hospitalization
- Heart failure (HF) hospitalization
- New onset or worsening HF

Classification of all-cause death at 30 days as well as 6 months and 1, 2 and 3 years post index PCI into the following categories:
- Cardiac cause of death
- Non-cardiac cause of death
- Death of Undetermined Cause
- Time to death and heart failure hospitalization [ Time Frame: 1 year post index PCI ]The hierarchical composite of time to death within 1 year, time to heart failure hospitalization within one 1-year and infarct size at assessed by CMR at 5±2 days post index PCI.
- Myocardial infarct size (% of LV mass) assessed by CMR at 6 months post index PCI [ Time Frame: 6 months post index PCI ]Myocardial infarct size (% of LV mass) assessed by CMR at 6 months post index PCI
- Occurrence and extent of microvascular obstruction and hemorrhage [ Time Frame: 5 days post index PCI ]Occurrence and extent of microvascular obstruction (MVO, % of LV mass) and hemorrhage assessed by CMR at 5 days post index PCI
- Myocardial function (LVEF, LVESV, LVEDV) [ Time Frame: 5 days and 6 months post index PCI ]Myocardial function (Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and Left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV)) assessed by CMR at 5 days and 6 months post index PCI
- Myocardial Salvage Index and myocardial infarct size [ Time Frame: 5 days and 6 months post index PCI ]Myocardial Salvage Index at 5 days and 6 months post index PCI (derived from Area at Risk (AAR) assessed by CMR at 5 days and myocardial infarct size (% of LV mass) assessed by CMR at 5 days or 6 months, respectively)
- ST-segment resolution [ Time Frame: 60-90 minutes post flow restoration ]ST-segment resolution at 60-90 minutes post flow restoration
- Device success and procedural success rate [ Time Frame: Baseline (treatment day) ]Device success and procedural success rate presented as % of subjects
- Changes in quality of life [ Time Frame: 30 days, 6 months and 1, 2, 3 years post index PCI ]Changes in quality of life measured by EQ-5D at 5 days, 6 months and 1, 2, 3 years post index PCI
- Utilization of health resources [ Time Frame: 30 days, 6 months and 1, 2, 3 years post index PCI ]Assess health economics by collecting the utilization of health resources throughout the study duration
