Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Subjects will be eligible for inclusion in this study if all of the following criteria apply:
- Age ≥18 and ≤90 years
- Subject is hemodynamically stable and will undergo elective or urgent (not emergent) HRPCI, where hemodynamic support is needed, as determined by the institutional heart team
- Informed consent granted by the patient or legally authorized representative
Subjects who meet any one of the following criteria will be excluded from study participation:
- Cardiogenic shock or acutely decompensated pre-existing chronic heart failure
a. Note: Cardiogenic shock is defined as: systemic hypotension (systolic blood pressure (BP) <90 mmHg or the need for inotropes/pressors to maintain a systolic BP >90 mmHg) plus one of the following: any requirement for inotropes/pressors prior to arrival at the catheterization laboratory, clinical evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion or use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), or any other circulatory support device.
- Stroke within 6 months of the index procedure, or any prior stroke with permanent neurologic deficit
- Evidence of left ventricular thrombus as assessed by Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE)
- Aortic valvular disease or regurgitation categorized as moderate or greater (≥2+ on a 4-grade scale as assessed on TTE)
- Aortic stenosis categorized as moderate or greater (gradient >20 mmHg or valve area <1.5 cm^2 as assessed on TTE)
- Previous aortic valve replacement or reconstruction
- Ascending or descending aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm >4.5 cm
- Aortic and iliofemoral anatomical conditions that preclude safe delivery and placement of the investigational device
- Presence of decompensated liver disease; severe liver dysfunction (Child class C)
- Ongoing renal replacement therapy with dialysis
- Infection of the proposed procedural access site or systemic active infection requiring ongoing antibiotic therapy
- Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, current or any prior occurrences
- Known hypersensitivity to intravenous contrast agents that cannot be adequately pre-medicated or known hypersensitivity to heparin, aspirin, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors, or nitinol
- Known or suspected coagulopathy or abnormal coagulation parameters (defined as platelet count ≤ 100,000/mm³ or spontaneous International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≥1.5 or known fibrinogen ≤1.5 g/L)
- Any condition or scheduled surgery that will require discontinuation of antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy within 90 days of the index procedure
- Planned coronary intervention within 30 days post index procedure
- Breastfeeding or pregnant
- Currently participating in active follow-up phase of another clinical study of an investigational drug or device
- Active COVID-related infection or prior COVID-19 diagnosis with sequelae that could confound endpoint assessments
- Other medical, social, or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromises the subject's ability to provide written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures
- Considered to be part of a vulnerable population (defined as individuals with mental disability, impoverished persons, homeless persons, nomads, refugees and those permanently incapable of giving informed consent; vulnerable populations also may include members of a group with a hierarchical structure such as university students, subordinate hospital and laboratory personnel, employees of the Sponsor, members of the armed forces and persons kept in detention)
