CLINICAL EVIDENCE

PiCSO clinical studies have demonstrated significant reduction in infarct size.

PiCSO clinical studies have demonstrated statistically significant improvements in:

  • Infarct size reduction as a percent of left ventricular mass
  • Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) 24h post procedure
