Study Summary
This trial will test a new heart device on 126 patients to see if it is better than the current standard treatment. 84 patients will get the new device and 42 will get the standard treatment.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with heart failure symptoms not improved by medication, left ventricular ejection fraction under 45%, and specific types of LV aneurysm or scar. They must be on standard heart failure therapy, able to do a walk test and questionnaire, not pregnant nor planning pregnancy within a year, and without severe arrhythmias or other major health issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The BioVentrix Revivent TC System is being tested in this study against active control. The trial will enroll 126 patients; two-thirds will receive the device treatment while one-third are controls. It's designed to see how well the device helps improve heart function compared to current treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from implanting the device such as infection risk at the site of surgery, bleeding, blood clots leading to stroke or other problems, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and possible negative reactions to materials in the device.
