18. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) within 90 days prior to index procedure
19. Known or suspected coagulopathy or abnormal coagulation parameters (defined as platelet count ≤ 100,000 or spontaneous INR ≥ 1.5 or known fibrinogen ≤ 1.5 g/L)
20. Known hemoglobin diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, hemolytic anemia or thalassemia
21. Subject has evidence of an active infection on the day of the index procedure requiring oral or intravenous antibiotics
22. Active infection of the intended access site
23. Chronic renal dysfunction (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) and/or patients requiring renal replacement therapy with dialysis

29. Decompensated heart failure requiring IV diuretics, vasopressors or inotropic support within 72 hours of index procedure
30. Patients with an organ transplant
31. Patients with implanted left ventricular assist device
32. Cardiac tamponade
33. Left ventricular rupture
34. Women who are lactating, pregnant, or plan to become pregnant during the course of the investigation
35. Any anatomical restriction that would preclude a MCS device from being delivered through the femoral artery to the left ventricle
36. 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 trial procedures
