About
The study will evaluate if Impella 5.5® support in heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients presenting with decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock will facilitate the initiation and optimization of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) during the hospital stay and post-discharge.
Full description
This is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, post-market, on-label study. Patients presenting with HFrEF who are not on adequate GDMT and who are presenting with heart failure cardiogenic shock will be evaluated for inclusion. The study objectives are to evaluate the impact of Impella 5.5 support on GDMT up-titration during support, at discharge, and at 90-days post-discharge and to evaluate the feasibility of Impella 5.5 combined with optimal GDMT to improve heart recovery in patients with decompensated heart failure. Outcomes will be measured up to one-year post-hospital discharge.

Exclusion criteria
Underlying unmodifiable conditions that limit initiation of GDMT prior to enrollment, including but not limited to:
Drug allergies or hypersensitivities to HF GDMT medications, unless alternative can be identified.
Drug allergy/hypersensitivity is an immune-mediated reaction to a medication. Adverse reactions must be a result of immune or inflammatory cell stimulations by the mеԁiсаtion:
Known bilateral renal artery stenosis
Type 1 diabetes
2nd or 3rd degree AV block, unless pacemaker is in place
Angioedema, hereditary or idiopathic
Pregnancy, known or confirmed by a pregnancy test if of child bearing potential.
Cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction prior to enrollment
Mixed shock, septic shock, or shock from non-cardiac origins
Severe Cardiogenic Shock, defined as meeting one or more of the below prior to enrollment:
In cardiac arrest prior to enrollment
Revascularization or cardiac surgery within 90-days of the index hospitalization date or decision to undergo revascularization or cardiac surgery made prior to enrollment.
Inflammatory and infiltrative cardiomyopathy (CM) including myocarditis, restrictive CM, constrictive pericarditis, or hypertrophic CM including sarcoidosis and amyloidosis.
Adult congenital heart disease without appropriate surgical correction
Structural or anatomical abnormalities that cannot be modified as determined by the treating cardiologist, including severe primary mitral regurgitation (MR) .
Severe RV dysfunction, per Study Definition (Appendix C), requiring mechanical or inotropic support prior to enrollment.
Severe dilatation of the LV with LVEDD greater than 8.0cm
History of heart transplant or listed for heart transplant prior to enrollment.
Planned to be implanted with a permanent VAD within 90-days of the index hospitalization date.
Continuous outpatient inotropic support prior to the index hospitalization date.
Planned to pursue palliative care or hospice, or life expectancy of less than 2 years due to non-cardiac illness at the time of index hospitalization date.
ICD upgrade to BiV, or implantation of CRT within 30-days of the index hospitalization date.
Currently on dialysis, or has pre-existing end-stage chronic kidney disease (stage 4 or above), or has hereditary, infectious, or autoimmune nephropathy.
Pre-existing liver dysfunction defined as: presence of liver cirrhosis or alcoholic hepatitis, or presence of acute liver failure or acute hepatitis not due to cardiogenic shock.
Pre-existing pulmonary disease requiring home oxygen
History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage ≤ 90 days of the index hospitalization date, or a history of cerebrovascular disease with significant (> 80%) uncorrected carotid stenosis, or any permanent neurological deficit with mRS score >2.
Any contraindication that precludes placing an Impella 5.5®, including but not limited to:
Known contraindication to heparin (i.e., heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)) or intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies.
Allergies or contraindications to contrast agents unless can be adequately medicated.
History of bleeding diathesis or known coagulopathy, any GU or GI bleed within 90-days of the index hospitalization date or will refuse blood transfusions.
Subject has other medical, social or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromises the subject's ability to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.
Participation in the active treatment or follow-up phase of another clinical study of an investigational drug or device that has not met its primary endpoint.
Subject belongs to a vulnerable population, such as such as prisoners, individuals with impaired decision making, or economically or educationally disadvantaged persons.
