NCT ID NCT03375710

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested a device called the Cordella™ Heart Failure System in 15 people with advanced heart failure. The system includes a small sensor implanted in the lung artery that measures pressure, sending data to doctors remotely. The goal was to see if it is safe and accurate, potentially allowing earlier treatment adjustments and fewer hospital visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Cordella™ Heart Failure System (a home monitoring device with a pulmonary artery pressure sensor implant)

What this could lead to

If successful, this system could help doctors manage heart failure remotely, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving quality of life for patients.

What could go wrong

This was a small, early feasibility study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device requires an implant, which carries risks like infection or sensor failure.
