New catheter offers hope for heart failure patients resistant to diuretics
NCT ID NCT05876078
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new device called the Doraya Catheter in 25 hospitalized heart failure patients whose bodies were not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics). The goal was to see if the catheter could safely and effectively remove excess fluid. The study focused on safety and urine output, not on curing heart failure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is hospitalized with primary diagnosis of ADHF. 2. N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ≥1,000 pg/m orvBNP≥250 pg/mL. 3. Evidence of fluid overload. 4. Subject insufficiently responds to IV diuretic therapy Exclusion Criteria: Systolic blood pressure \< 80 mmHg at the time of screening. 2. Acute myocardial infarction or acute coronary syndrome or cardiogenic shock or pleurocentesis within past 14 days or cardiovascular intervention within past 14 days. 3. Complex congenital heart disease (e.g., Tetralogy of Fallot subjects, single ventricle physiology). 4\. Known active myocarditis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, infiltrative cardiomyopathy (e.g., amyloidosis), constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade. 5\. Severe Aortic valvular disorder (i.e., hemodynamically relevant valvular diseases such as severe stenosis \\severe regurgitation) or Severe mitral disease with planned intervention. 6\. Evidence of active systemic infection documented by either one of the following: fever \>38°C/100°F, or ongoing uncontrolled infection (i.e., inflammatory parameters not decreasing despite \> 48 hours of antibiotic treatment). 7\. Moribund subject or subject with severe or deteriorating damage in more than 3 critical body systems, based on investigator's clinical judgement.
