Aortix device for acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the hospital for worsening heart failure symptoms like swelling or shortness of breath.
- You have been on strong IV water pills (diuretics) but they aren't removing enough fluid.
- You still have signs of fluid buildup, such as swollen legs, high neck vein pressure, or belly swelling, after trying higher doses of IV diuretics.
- You are at least 21 years old and can agree to participate.
- If you could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test before starting.

This trial tests a small device placed in the heart to help reduce fluid buildup and ease breathing in people with advanced heart failure. It might help you feel better and avoid hospital stays.
This study tests whether adding acetazolamide (a different type of water pill) to your current treatment helps remove extra fluid from your body more effectively when you are in the hospital for heart failure.
This trial studies a device (the Nephronyx System) used in the hospital to treat worsening heart failure with fluid buildup, especially when diuretics (water pills) aren’t working well. It aims to check the device’s safety and whether it performs as expected to help patients get better.
This trial tests a device that briefly blocks blood flow in a large vein to help your body remove extra fluid, which may improve symptoms like swelling and shortness of breath. It is for people with advanced heart failure who are already in the hospital and need more help with fluid removal.
