Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Conditions
Brief summary
The present study introduces a novel approach to coronary revascularization through the use of a short term minimally-invasive left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to minimize myocardial injury and eliminate low output state during the perioperative period
Interventions
Subjects will undergo insertion of an axillary or ascending aortic Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist, followed by Impella-supported OPCABG using a sternotomy approach with shunting of the coronary arteries to achieve myocardial protection.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intraoperative hemodynamic stability | Intraoperative | Intraoperative hemodynamic stability, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), central venous pressure (CVP), and cerebral perfusion as measured by NIRS maintained within normal ranges for the entire operative time except potentially for short periods not exceeding 10 minutes in total time. |
