Clinical Research Studies

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether using the Study Device System (a temporary circulatory assist device) before the catheterization procedure has the potential to reduce the damage to your heart caused by a heart attack compared to the current standard of care (a catheterization procedure). The Study Device has been approved by the FDA for commercial use in the United States to treat patients with different conditions than yours, and who need assistance pumping blood from the heart to the rest of the body, for up to four (4) days. The Study Device, when used in this study, will likely be used for four (4) to six (6) hours.
