Ultrasound-guided fluid removal in hospitalized heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using ultrasound-guided treatment to reduce fluid buildup in the body can help people hospitalized for worsening heart failure feel better faster. It's for adults admitted with heart failure and high BNP levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in the hospital for worsening heart failure symptoms

This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
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 new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
This study looks at how your kidneys handle salt and water when you're treated for acute heart failure in the hospital. Researchers want to understand which patients recover well from fluid buildup and which might need different treatment approaches.
This study uses ultrasound to guide treatment that removes excess fluid from the body. It may help doctors tailor your heart failure care and improve how you feel.
