Summary
This trial studies a device to help people with heart failure caused by stiffening or thickening of the heart.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with heart failure who can still move around (NYHA Class II, III or ambulatory IV) and have a specific type of heart function (LVEF ≥ 40%). They must show high pressure in the left part of their heart during exercise and not have advanced heart failure, pacemakers, or right heart issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests the Alleviant ALV1 System—a device to create a small channel between the left and right sides of the heart—against a sham procedure. Participants won't know which they receive in this controlled comparison to see if it's safe and helps symptoms.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include discomfort at the insertion site, irregular heartbeat risks due to shunt placement, bleeding complications, or infection. The full range of side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.
