Detailed Description
This study investigates the safety and performance characteristics of the Direct Epicardial Shockwave Therapy System (DESWT) as applied with the Cardiac Shockwave Probe (CSP).

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Arm For each of this packages exactly half of the envelops will be filled with control (20/20) or intervention (20/20) information: This is a prospective, single-blind, randomized, single-centre study. The investigational medicinal product (shockwave therapy) to which individual patients will be assigned is determined by a randomised schedule with a 1:1 allocation ratio |
Device: Shockwave Therapy
Surgically invasive device, transient use only for the time of surgical intervention, intended for use in direct contact with the heart, intended to correct defect of the heart.
Throughout the study, investigators are permitted to use their clinical judgement when prescribing concomitant medications and treatments for trial patients. Local prescribing information and institutional guidelines should be followed as applicable

No Intervention: Control Arm For each of this packages exactly half of the envelops will be filled with control (20/20) or intervention (20/20) information This is a prospective, single-blind, randomized, single-centre study. The investigational medicinal product (shockwave therapy) to which individual patients will be assigned is determined by a randomised schedule with a 1:1 allocation ratio |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of related adverse events (Safety) and differences in LVEF (Efficacy) with in one week [7 days]
To assess the safety profile of the device (number of related adverse events, control vs. treatment group) To assess the Improvement of LVEF after treatment (control vs. treatment group)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of related adverse events (Safety) and differences in LVEF (Efficacy) with in one year [360 days]
To assess the safety profile of the device (number of related adverse events, control vs. treatment group over a period of 1 year) To assess the Improvement of LVEF after treatment (control vs. treatment group over a period of 1 year)
