FLOW-HF will assess the impact of intermittent partial occlusion of the SVC and/or IVC, the cardiac filling pressure and the difference of effects between the two occlusion locations (SVC and IVC) using the FlowMod flow modulating device on select parameters in subjects experiencing ADHF (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)
Intermittent occlusion of the superior vena cava (SVC) and/or inferior vena cava (IVC) might be associated with positive beneficial effects on cardiac filling pressures and improved patient outcomes.

The FlowMod System is used in subjects with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) for limiting blood flow in the inferior and superior vena cava vessels to the right heart to reduce preloading of the heart.

Freedom from device- or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days post procedure
Freedom from device- or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days post procedure defined as: death, myocardial infarction, major thromboembolic event, vascular damage requiring surgical intervention, hemorrhagic stroke, or prolongation of heart failure-related hospitalization, attributable to the FlowMod device or procedure
Time frame: Through 30 days post procedure
Freedom from primary endpoint MAEs
Defined as: death, myocardial infarction, major thromboembolic event, vascular damage requiring surgical intervention, hemorrhagic stroke, or prolongation of heart failure-related hospitalization, attributable to the FlowMod device or procedure
Time frame: Through 90 days post procedure
Acute Technical Success
Defined as successful device deployment, ability to intermittently partially occlude the SVC/IVC and successful device removal
Time frame: Immediately after the procedure
Time from device removal to hospital discharge
Time from device removal to hospital discharge will be defined as the elapsed time, in hours, between the documented date and time of complete FlowMod device removal and the documented date and time of discharge from the index hospitalization.
Time frame: Through index discharge, an average of 24 hours
Heart failure-related re-hospitalization rates at 30 and 90 days
defined as any hospital admission occurring after index discharge that is primarily due to worsening signs and/or symptoms of heart failure requiring inpatient treatment.
Time frame: 30 days and 90 days
This platform is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Re-hospitalization rates (any cause) at 30 and 90 days
