5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF, EF ≥ 50%) or mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (HFmrEF, 40% < EF < 50%) with mild to moderate functional limitation will be evaluated for treatment via creation of a no-implant interatrial shunt using clinical, echocardiographic, and invasive hemodynamic data.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
ALV1 System
Intervention Description
The ALV1 system is designed to create a controlled size interatrial shunt via a proprietary intra-cardiac catheter. There is no temporary or permanent implant used to create or maintain the interatrial shunt. The therapy is intended to be delivered in a single procedure administered under general anesthesia in a cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
The composite incidence of one or more of the following through the 1-month follow-up visit: major adverse cardiac, cerebrovascular and thromboembolic events.
