Transcatheter Atrial Shunt
for Heart Failure
This trial is testing a new device to help patients with heart problems by creating a small passageway between the upper chambers of their heart. This can make it easier for blood to flow and reduce the heart's workload. Since the initial description of a device for heart issues in the mid-1970s by King and Mills, a number of devices have been developed.

SRD-001
for Heart Failure
This trial uses a harmless virus to deliver a gene that helps heart cells produce a beneficial protein. It targets patients with severe heart failure who don't respond well to other treatments. The treatment works by improving calcium handling in heart cells, which enhances heart function and blood flow. Gene therapy has recently emerged as a powerful tool offering the promise of a new paradigm for alleviating heart failure.
