MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Technical SuccessTechnical success is measured during the procedure. Procedure time varies by patient and is measured from 1st vascular puncture for sheath insertion to vascular closure post sheath removal. Mean procedure time was 116.0 minutes (70.0 min, 148.0 max).Successful delivery of the device to the correct anatomical position and successful operation and removal of the Vortex circulatory support system during high-risk PCI procedure.
Number of Participants With Clinical SuccessClinical success is measured during the procedure. Procedure time varies by patient and is measured from 1st vascular puncture for sheath insertion to vascular closure post sheath removal. Mean procedure time was 116.0 minutes (70.0 min, 148.0 max).No conversion to open heart surgery during the high-risk PCI procedure and no in-hospital mortality.
