Safety and Efficacy Study of the BioVentrix PliCath HF System
- Conditions
- Heart Failure
- Registration Number
- NCT01568164
- Lead Sponsor
- BioVentrix
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this prospective, single-armed, multi-center clinical trial is to further establish the safety and feasibility of using the BioVentrix PliCath HF System for the treatment of left ventricular dysfunction in appropriate cohorts of humans suffering from heart failure.
- Detailed Description
Congestive heart failure is the "epidemic" of cardiovascular disease (Eugene Braunwald, NEJM 1997), yet there is no cure. The American Heart Association reports the nearly five million Americans are afflicted. Approximately 1.5 million admissions in the US are due to heart failure; it is the number one cost-item for Medicare, comprising 6% of its total expenditures.
BioVentrix has developed the PliCath heart failure system, which is used to place permanent cardiac implants into the heart for the purpose of excluding scar, reconfiguring abnormal cardiac geometry that is causing dysfunction, by excluding an abnormal portion of the ventricular wall. Conceptually, the final configuration in SVR can be achieved by placing these implants.
The procedure called PliCath Epicardial Catheter-based Ventricular Restoration System (ECVR) is designed for left ventricular volume reduction in patients with heart failure in a magnitude similar to that of the predicate surgical procedure, but much less invasively. The PliCath HF System utilizes anchors that are implanted into the scarred portion of the heart, which when deployed, exclude some of the scar similar to what is excluded by cinching the purse string suture with the patch, rendering the ventricle smaller, and is employed in a surgical setting, with and without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
The PliCath HF System has anchors (implants) that are deployed using fluoroscopic imaging.
