About this trial

Based on a multi-center randomized controlled study, this research aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interventional therapy supported by the CorVad percutaneous left ventricular assist system (Micro-axial Flow Pump) for patients with complex coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated by ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Through a prospective, multi-center, open-label 1:1 randomized controlled trial, a total of 452 patients with severe ischemic systolic dysfunction and complex coronary lesions were enrolled. The study compared the 12-month incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) between patients who received interventional therapy supported by the CorVad percutaneous left ventricular assist system in addition to the most appropriate medical therapy and those who only received the most appropriate medical therapy. This was done to test whether the interventional therapy supported by the CorVad percutaneous left ventricular assist system can improve the prognosis of patients with severe ischemic systolic dysfunction and complex coronary lesions.
