Summary

This study is an early feasibility study which typically consist of evaluating innovative devices or innovative uses of approved devices. The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational device called preCARDIA Intermittent Balloon Device can limit fluid overload in congested patients with advanced heart failure. This investigational device is a catheter which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to occlude large vessels but not for the treatment of advanced heart failure. Currently, there are no device-based approaches that are FDA-approved for advanced heart failure. This study will help find out if this device-based approach can improve symptoms and heart function in congested patients with advanced heart failure
