HFA 24: The RELIEVE-HF Trial

HFA 24 - Prof Stefan Anker (Charité Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Berlin, DE) joins us in this succinct interview to outline the findings of the RELIEVE-HF trial (NCT03499236).
RELIEVE-HF was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the V-Wave inter-atrial shunt system to reduce lung congestion in patients with advanced heart failure. 605 participants with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II, class III or class IV heart failure who had been treated with guideline-directed drug and device therapies were enrolled in the trial. Participants were randomized 1:1 to recieve either the V-Wave inter-atrial shunt, or were included in the control arm.
