No-implant heart procedure aims to help failing hearts
NCT ID NCT06859970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a device that creates a small, temporary opening in the wall of the heart to relieve pressure and improve symptoms in people with advanced heart failure. The main goal is to see if the procedure is safe. About 20 participants who have not responded well to standard treatments will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria: * NYHA Class II at screening with a prior history of greater than NYHA Class II, OR NYHA Class III at screening, OR ambulatory Class IV at screening: with documented medical history of heart failure for at least 6 months prior to the screening visit. * At least one hospitalization for heart failure OR treatment with IV diuretics for heart failure OR elevated BNP in the prior 12 months. * Receiving maximally tolerated guideline directed medical therapy for Heart Failure management. * LVEF ≥ 20% and ≤ 40% according to baseline echocardiography. * Resting right heart catheterization demonstrates elevated PCWP compared to right atrial pressure. Exclusion Criteria: * Any of the following within the prior 6 months: Stroke, thromboembolism, severe or advanced heart failure such as Stage D heart failure, non-ambulatory NYHA Class IV, cardiac index less than 1.8 L/min/m2, LVEDD \> 8 cm, or received inotropic therapy for LVEF less than 20%. * Any of the following within the prior 3 months: Myocardial infarction percutaneous cardiac intervention, CABG, on cardiac transplant list, cardiac resynchronization therapy implant, AICD implant, or indicated for coronary revascularization at the time of enrollment. * Transseptal procedure or percutaneous cardiac intervention planned within the next 6 months. * Chronic pulmonary disease requiring continuous home oxygen or hospitalization within the prior 12 months for pulmonary disease. * Patent foramen ovale (PFO) device or atrial septal defect (ASD) device. * BMI \> 40. * Anatomic anomaly that precludes creation of interatrial shunt.
