Description

Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and initial effectiveness of the TIVUS™ System when used for pulmonary artery denervation in group II PH patients through change in clinical parameters including hemodynamics, exercise tolerance, and quality of life. This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open-label clinical trail. The study will be conducted in up to 3 centers and will recruit up to 15 patients diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease that demonstrate combined pre and post capillary involvement with PVR>3 wood units.

Official Title

Clinical Evaluation of the Therapeutic Intra-Vascular Ultrasound (TIVUS™) System for Pulmonary Artery Denervation in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease

Keywords
