Study summary

A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study. This study will enroll a maximum of 35 subjects treated with the Revivent TC System.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to allow the continued use of the BioVentrix Revivent TC System for the treatment of LV antero-septal aneurysms/scars in patients with symptomatic heart failure while the pivotal trial for the BioVentrix Revivent TC System is continuing through the follow up phase and the PMA documentation is prepared and reviewed by FDA.

Inclusion criteria

  1. 18 years old or older;
  2. LV Aneurysm or Scar Presence: Defined by presence of a contiguous acontractile (akinetic and/or dyskinetic) scar;
  3. LV Aneurysm/Scar Location: Defined as a scar involving septum and/or anterior, apical or anterolateral regions of the left ventricle as evidenced by cardiac imaging and referred for surgical management;
  4. Viability of myocardium in regions remote from area of intended scar exclusion as evidenced by cardiac imaging;
  5. \< 45%;
  6. Left ventricular end-systolic volume index ≥50 mL/m2;
  7. Suffering from heart failure symptoms as defined by Classification > 2 not responsive to medical therapy;
  8. Patient completed 6 Minute Walk Test and MLHF Quality of Life Questionnaire (can be performed at baseline visit);
  9. Patient is on adequate Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT);
  10. Subject or a legally authorized representative must provide written ;
  11. Agree to required follow-up visits; and
  12. Female subject of does not plan pregnancy for at least one year following the index procedure. For a female of childbearing potential, a pregnancy test must be performed with negative results known within seven days prior to index procedure.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) or ICD pacing lead placement ≤ 60 days prior to enrollment;
  2. Valvular heart disease, which in the opinion of the investigator, will require surgery;
  3. Functional Mitral Regurgitation greater than moderate (i.e. EROA>20mm sq.) and primary MR (including MR due to papillary muscle rupture);
  4. Need for coronary revascularization, in the opinion of the site investigator;
  5. Peak Systolic Pulmonary Arterial Pressure > 60 mm Hg via echo or right heart catheterization and/or evidence of cor pulmonale;
  6. Myocardial Infarction within 90 days prior to enrollment;
  7. Within the last six months, a prior CVA or , or any intracranial hemorrhage, or any permanent neurologic deficit, or any known intracranial pathology;
  8. Co-morbid disease process with of less than one year or active not in remission;
  9. Any solid organ transplant or is on waiting list for any solid organ transplant other than cardiac; Page 6 of 64 BioVentrix CIP-0067, Rev A
  10. Chronic renal failure with a serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dL and/or \<30ml/min;
  11. Subject is currently participating in another clinical trial that has not yet completed its primary endpoint.
  12. Presence of significant ventricular arrhythmias
  13. or inability to adhere to systemic anticoagulation;
  14. Known or contraindication to device materials;
  15. Previous pericardiotomy or left thoracotomy;
  16. Pathology/previous surgery/radiation therapy of the right neck that would interfere with placement of a 14F delivery catheter;
  17. Prior open heart surgery or significant pericarditis;
  18. Calcified ventricular wall in the area of intended anchor implants as verified by cardiac imaging;
  19. Thrombus or intra-ventricular mass in the left atrium or ventricle as verified by cardiac imaging that has not been adequately treated with anticoagulant.
  20. Functioning pacemaker leads in antero-apical RV, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with anchor placement.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
