ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Most approaches to the creation of an interatrial shunt require placement of a permanent implant to maintain patency.OBJECTIVES:
The goal of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of a no-implant interatrial shunt for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF).METHODS:
This was a multicenter, uncontrolled study of patients with HFpEF/HFmrEF and NYHA functional class ≥II, ejection fraction >40%, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) during supine exercise ≥25 mm Hg with PCWP-to-right atrial gradient ≥5 mm Hg. Follow-up was through 6 months with imaging to assess shunt durability.RESULTS:
A total of 28 patients were enrolled mean age was 68 ± 9 years, and 68% were female. Baseline resting and peak exercise PCWP were 19 ± 7 mm Hg and 40 ± 11 mm Hg, respectively. All procedures displayed technical success with confirmation of left-to-right flow (shunt diameter 7.1 ± 0.9 mm). At 1 month, peak exercise PCWP decreased 5.4 ± 9.6 mm Hg (P = 0.011) with no change in right atrial pressure. There were no serious device or procedure-related adverse events through 6 months. Mean 6-minute walk distance increased 101 ± 71 meters (P < 0.001); Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary Score increased 26 ± 19 points (P < 0.001); N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide decreased 372 ± 857 pg/mL (P = 0.018); and shunt patency was confirmed with unchanged diameter.CONCLUSIONS:
In these feasibility studies of a no-implant interatrial shunt, HFpEF/HFmrEF shunts exhibited stability with favorable safety and early efficacy signals. The results show promise toward this new approach for treating patients with HFpEF/HFmrEF and an appropriate hemodynamic profile.
