Pivotal Study of the SUpira System in Patients Undergoing High-Risk Percutaneous COronaRy InTervention (HRPCI)

The Supira System is a minimally invasive percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) that is intended to provide temporary hemodynamic support (≤ 4 hours) to patients undergoing HRPCI. The Supira Catheter is inserted percutaneously through the femoral artery, across the aortic valve, and into the left ventricle under fluoroscopic guidance, with the pump outlet remaining in the ascending aorta. The pump portion of the Catheter compresses during insertion in the Introducer Sheath and re-expands during use. It actively unloads the left ventricle by pumping blood from the ventricle into the ascending aorta and systemic circulation.
