Brief Summary:

Aortix is a circulatory support device for chronic heart failure patients on medical management who have been hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and are resistant to diuretic therapy.

Eligible ADHF patients with diuretic resistance (irrespective of ejection fraction) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either the Aortix system or standard of care medical management.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Heart Failure Cardiorenal Syndrome Cardio-Renal Syndrome ADHF Heart Failure, Systolic Heart Failure, Diastolic Heart Failure; With Decompensation Heart Failure, Congestive Device: Aortix System Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, nonblinded study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Aortix System versus standard of care medical therapy in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and persistent congestion despite usual medical management.Eligible ADHF patients with diuretic resistance (irrespective of ejection fraction) will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to either the Aortix system or standard of care medical management. Randomization will be stratified by ejection fraction..

An additional registry arm will enroll patients who are considered candidates for advanced therapies in the near-term, but need improvement in their renal function to be able to receive additional medical therapies. All eligible enrolled registry subjects will receive Aortix system support.

Planned study population is male or female patients 21 years of age or greater, with acute decompensated heart failure and diuretic resistance who remain congested despite standard of care medical therapy.

This study will enroll up to 268 subjects with heart failure at 45 clinical sites in the United States. The randomized study includes up to 188 subjects and the Advanced HF registry includes up to 80 subjects.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria (Randomized Study):

  • Currently admitted to the hospital with a primary diagnosis of decompensated heart failure, irrespective of ejection fraction (EF);
  • Urine output for 12 hours prior to enrollment is < 1500 ml following at least 48 hours of the higher of: i) furosemide 80 mg IV bid or equivalent or ii) IV furosemide or equivalent IV loop diuretic at a dose 2.5 x total daily home dose of furosemide equivalents in 2 divided doses, as tolerated;
  • Persistent signs and/or symptoms of congestion as evidenced by at least 2+ pitting edema or ascites after treatment with IV diuretics per inclusion criterion 2.;
  • Age >21 years and able to provide written informed consent;
  • Negative pregnancy test if patient is of child-bearing potential.

Exclusion Criteria (Randomized Study):

    3. Femoral artery depth inconsistent with use of closure device,
    4. Abnormalities or severe vascular disease that would preclude safe access and device delivery (e.g. aneurysm with thrombus, marked tortuosity, significant narrowing or inadequate size of the abdominal aorta, iliac or femoral arteries, or severe calcification),

  • Participation in any other clinical investigation that is likely to confound study results or affect the study;
  • Poor health such that the patient is unable to undergo the Aortix device placement/retrieval and/or unlikely to be able to survive to the 30-day visit;
