About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate initial clinical safety, device functionality and effectiveness of the Edwards APTURE transcatheter shunt system.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

A primary diagnosis of HFrEF (LVEF ≤ 40%), and

NYHA Class II, III, or IVa heart failure symptoms and

Hospitalization for heart failure; or

Increased treatment for heart failure, including intravenous (IV) or higher-dose diuretic therapy.

Disqualifiers

Ambulatory NT-proBNP value >5,000 pg/ml or BNP value >1,600 pg/ml

Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) >8 cm

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 20%

ACC/AHA Stage D HF or non-ambulatory NYHA Class IV HF

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Rate of major cardiac/cerebrovascular/renal events and re-intervention (Safety Endpoint)

Composite of major adverse cardiac, cerebrovascular, renal events (MACCRE) and re-intervention for study device related complications at 30 days.

Time frame
30 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate at which device is successfully implanted (Device Success)

Device is deployed as intended and the delivery system is successfully removed as intended at the time of the patient's exit from the implant procedure room.

Time frame
Day 0
2

Rate at which device is patent and subject is discharged from hospital without the need for additional intervention for the device (Procedural Success)

Device success with evidence of shunt patency and hospital discharge without the need for additional surgical or percutaneous intervention related to the study device including unacceptable Qp/Qs values.

Time frame
10 days post-op
3

Rate at which the procedure is successful without major cardiac/cerebrovascular/renal events and re-intervention (Clinical Success)

Procedural success without major adverse cardiac, cerebrovascular, renal events (MACCRE), and re-intervention for study device related complications at 30 days.

Time frame
30 days
4

Change in the ratio of systemic blood flow (Qs) to the pulmonary blood flow (Qp), called "Qp/Qs", from Baseline to Follow Up

Change in Qp/Qs value from Baseline to Follow Up (3Month, 6Month)

Time frame
3 months, 6 months

Other outcomes

1

HFrEF Subgroup Analysis

Data obtained from the refined HFrEF subgroup will be analyzed according to the endpoints defined above, based on measurements available across all follow-up time points.

Time frame
10 days post-op, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months
