Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Corheart 6 Left Ventricular Assist System (Corheart 6 LVAS) used for the treatment of end-stage heart failure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Corheart 6 Left Ventricular Assist System (also called "the Corheart 6 LVAS", or "the Corheart 6") is developed and manufactured by Shenzhen Core Medical Technology Co., Ltd. It is indicated for providing short-term and long-term mechanical circulatory support for patients with end-stage heart failure. This prospective, multi-center, and single-arm trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the device in treating patients with end-stage heart failure. 50 patients from 12 investigational sites will be enrolled for Corheart 6 VAS implantation and followed for 3 months post-implantation. Following the initial 3-month follow-up, the study was extended to assess the primary endpoint of event-free survival at 24 months, with further follow-up to 5 years to evaluate long-term outcomes. The primary endpoint include the success rate of device implantation at 3 months and event-free survival at 24 months post-implantation. All adverse events will be adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC).
