Atrial shunt for heart failure with reduced pumping function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older
- You have heart failure with reduced pumping function (ejection fraction between 20 and 40%)
- You've been on heart failure medications for at least 1 month
- You are experiencing shortness of breath or fatigue with minimal activity (NYHA class III)
- You had a heart failure hospitalization in the past year, or have high BNP/NT-proBNP blood test levels
- Your heart pressure readings must be above normal, as measured by invasive hemodynamic testing

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 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 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 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 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 study is looking at a new treatment for people with heart failure where the heart’s pumping strength is not reduced much (HFpEF or HFmrEF), but pressure inside the heart is high during exercise. It may help relieve symptoms in people who still feel unwell during normal activity despite stable standard treatment.
