Conditions

STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Brief summary

The present study is planned to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Booster Balloon catheter when applied to STEMI patients. The Booster Balloon is a spiral balloon intended to be positioned in the coronary sinus, enabling continuous venous draining while reducing flow and increasing the pressure inside the venous capillaries, and redistributing blood and oxygen to the border zone of the ischemic myocardium. This pilot, first-in-human study is designed to evaluate (in addition to safety and feasibility) the treatment modality in the setting of acute STEMI, as adjunctive therapy after restoring blood blow through the infract-related artery.

Detailed description

The Booster Balloon Catheter, while inflated, causes partial occlusion of CS blood flow and thus increases the coronary sinus venous pressure. It is hypothesized that the utilization of a long pressure plateau, without a complete occlusion of the CS, will enable prolonged and improved redistribution of the venous flow and improve the oxygenation of the border zone (penumbra) of the infarcted myocardium at risk. The improved oxygenation of the ischemic peri-infarcted area is believed to reduce infarct size and may lead to improved short- and long-term outcomes. This is a First-In-Human study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Booster Balloon Catheter (BBC). The study will include up to 20 patients in up to 5 centers in Israel and Europe. After the patients sign the informed consent, all the eligibility criteria will be evaluated. If a subject is found to be ineligible, the subject will be considered a screen failure. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will be treated with the BBC. The total duration of subject participation will be 30±7 days.

Interventions

DEVICEBooster Balloon Catheter

The Booster balloon therapy (i.e. partial occlusion of the CS lumen with a subsequent backward pressure elevation without obstructing the CS blood flow) will start immediately after a successful PCI of the culprit coronary lesion in the LAD, with TIMI-II flow restoration. The Booster balloon therapy will then be continued for up to 90 min, but not less than 60 min.
