Heart shunt device for advanced heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure with a weakened heart muscle (ejection fraction of 40% or less) for at least 6 months.
- You feel short of breath or tired even with mild activity (NYHA class III).
- You have been on standard heart failure medicines for at least a few months, including a water pill if needed.
- In the past year, you've been in the hospital or emergency room for heart failure, or you have a high level of BNP in your blood.
- You can walk between 100 and 450 meters in 6 minutes.
- You have a device like a pacemaker or defibrillator if your doctor recommended one.

This study tests a small device that creates a tiny opening inside the heart to help lower pressure and improve symptoms in people with heart failure. The procedure is minimally invasive and aims to reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life.
This trial studies a small implant (an “atrial shunt” device) to improve symptoms and heart function in people with chronic left heart failure that stays active despite standard medicines. It focuses on whether the implant is safe and can help you feel better and possibly breathe easier.
This trial studies a small device placed in the heart to create a passage that may help relieve pressure and improve symptoms in people with heart failure and a weak pumping function. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for daily life.
This trial tests a tiny tube (shunt) placed in the heart to relieve pressure and ease severe shortness of breath. It's for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax enough.
This trial tests a new device that creates a small shunt (passage) in the heart to help relieve pressure and improve symptoms in people with heart failure and a weak heart pump. The goal is to see if the device is safe and helpful for patients like you.
This study is testing a heart pump device for people with very advanced heart failure. It's for patients who are very sick and haven't improved with standard treatments. The study will see if this pump is safe and effective.
