Study Summary

This early feasibility study is intended to characterize the impact of pulmonary artery denervation on the quality of life in Heart Failure Patients with Group 2 Pulmonary Hypertension

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Heart Failure with EF ≥ 40% (by TTE within last 3 months)

  • Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mPAP) >20 mmHg at rest

  • Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) ≥ 3WU at rest

  • Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure > 15 mmHg (at rest) or > 18 with passive legraise

  • Cardiac index (CI) ≥ 1.7 L/min/m2

  • NYHA Class II or III

  • Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ≥ 25 ml/min

  • Stable, guideline directed medical treatment, including controlled volume status fora minimum of 3 months prior treatment

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ambulatory with a Life expectancy of < 1 years

  • Inability to take dual antiplatelet or anticoagulants, hypersensitivity or allergyto aspirin or clopidogrel

  • Unable to tolerate right heart catheterization

  • Pulmonary artery aneurysm, moderate or greater PA stenosis or other PA anatomy thatwould prevent safe or proper use of the study device

  • Severe aortic, mitral or pulmonary valve regurgitation

  • Tricuspid regurgitation in conjunction with the presence of cirrhosis or congestivehepatopathy

  • Clot or Thrombus in any potential target ablation zone (right, left or mainpulmonary artery)

Study Description

Gradient has developed a novel system for pulmonary artery denervation (PADN) to treat patients with heart failure who also developed pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary hypertension is frequently associated with left heart failure and is a strong independent predictor of clinical worsening and higher mortality. No therapeutic options are available to treat PH in this selected group of patients with heart failure. The objective is to improve exercise capacity and quality of life by targeting PH in these patients.
