Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - V-Wave Interatrial Shunt
Other interventions - Control

Experimental: Treatment - Treatment arm patients will undergo a diagnostic right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility followed by transseptal catheterization and V-Wave Shunt implantation

Other: Control - Control arm patients will undergo a diagnostic right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility, but will not have transseptal catheterization or shunt implantation.

Experimental: Roll in - Roll in arm patients will undergo a diagnostic right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility followed by transseptal catheterization and V-Wave Shunt implantation


Treatment: Devices: V-Wave Interatrial Shunt
The V-Wave Interatrial Shunt System, includes a permanent implant placed during a minimally invasive cardiac catheterization procedure using its dedicated Delivery Catheter. The device is implanted through the fossa ovalis and straddles the interatrial septum.

Other interventions: Control
Right heart catheterization, invasive echocardiography.

* NYHA Class II, Class III, or ambulatory Class IV HF
* Receiving guideline directed medical and device therapy (GDMT) for heart failure
* For NYHA Class III and ambulatory Class IV, at least one prior hospitalization for heart failure within the last year or elevated BNP level of at least 300 pg/ml or NT-proBNP level of at least 1,500 pg/ml. BNP/NT-ProBNP levels corrected for BMI
* For NYHA Class II, must have both hospitalization and elevated BNP levels as above specifications

Main
Minimum age

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Systolic blood pressure <90 or >160 mmHg
* Presence of Intracardiac thrombus
* Pulmonary hypertension with PASP of =70 mm/Hg or PVR > 4 WU
* Significant RV dysfunction - TAPSE <12mm or RVFAC =25%
