Heart pump trial for fluid retention in heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a device to help the kidneys remove excess fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure who are not responding well to standard diuretic (water pill) therapy. It aims to improve heart and kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 or older and in the hospital for worsening heart failure with fluid buildup.
- You still need IV diuretics (water pills) for more than 48 hours to remove at least 1 liter of fluid per day.
- Your body is not responding well to diuretics, shown by low urine output or poor fluid removal.
- You do not have severe heart or kidney disease, recent major procedures, or bleeding risks.
- You are willing to undergo device placement and follow-up for 30 days.
