Detailed Description
A European, prospective, multicenter, post-market clinical single-arm follow-up trial with an adaptive design.
The study will first include up to 123 patients, but the adaptive mechanism can allow the sample size to increase up to 535 patients.
Patients will be followed for up to 1-year.
The objectives of the study are to collect data on the safety and on the effectiveness of the Impella 5.5 System in improving functional status and quality of life (QoL) in high-risk cardiac surgery patients with severe LV dysfunction in a post-market setting.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Other: Treatment with Impella 5.5 System
|
Device: Device: Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist
Patients who are deemed high-risk due to low preoperative ejection fraction undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) which will be supported by the Impella 5.5 System.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the rate of post-cardiotomy cardiac failure [Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week]
- All-cause mortality and Safety Endpoint: Stroke (as defined by STS) [90 Days after procedure]
- Stroke (as defined by STS) [90 Days after procedure]
Postoperative stroke (cerebrovascular accident) consisting of any confirmed neurological deficit of abrupt onset caused by a disturbance in blood supply to the brain that did not resolve within 24 hours.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- New requirement for renal replacement therapy (RRT) [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
- Number of attempts to wean from CPB [Until CPB was removed, on average 72 hours]
- Duration and dosages of vasopresor ssupport in hours [Through ICU Discharge, on average 3 days]
- Duration and dosages of inotropic support in hours [Through ICU Discharge, on average 3 days]
- Acute Kidney Injury (a modified KDIGO stages 2-3) [Within 7 days or at ICU discharge whichever comes first]
- Adequate hemodynamic support [Through ICU Discharge, on average 3 days]
- Major Hemolysis (defined by MCS-ARC) [Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week]
- Major Vascular Complications (defined by MCS-ARC) [Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week]
- Major Bleeding defined by STS [Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week]
Bleeding requiring surgical intervention or fatal bleeding
- All-cause Mortality [Up to 1-year post-op]
Other Outcome Measures
- Technical Success [Time of CPB removed, on average at 72 hours]
The successful use of the Impella 5.5 device will be assessed by the proportion of patients who undergo successful Impella insertion, as well as the proportion of patients demonstrating successful wean off CPB
- Length of ICU stay in days [Through ICU discharge, on average 3 days]
- Length of hospital stay in days [Through Hospital Discharge, on average 1 week]
- Quality of Life Assessment by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire KCCQ) [90 days and 1-year post-op]
KCCQ scores are scaled from 0 to 100. Lower scores representing the worse symptoms
- Quality of Life by Assessment of physical activity [90 days and 1-year post-op]
(Katz Activities of Daily Living (ADL). A The summary score ranges from 0 (low function, dependent) to 8 (high function, independent).
- Quality of Life (QoL) by assessing the ability to perform tasks necessary to live independently [90 days and 1-year post-op]
Assessed by LAWTON - BRODY instrumental activities of daily living scale (I.A.D.L.). A summary score ranges from 0 (Low, patient very dependent ) to 6 (high, patient independent)
