The main objective is to evaluate the safety of lymphatic decompression in heart failure.
The research hypothesis is that lymphatic decompression is safe and feasible in heart failure patients with recurrent congestion despite on maximum tolerated diuretic dosage. Safety will be evaluated by the rate and severity of adverse events. Feasibility will be assess based on procedural success and time.
In demonstrating that this approach is both safe and feasible, the expected benefits of the research include symptom relief for patients as well as data generation and considerations for a novel treatment for chronic heart failure patients. Ultimately, this research will contribute to the development of an additional treatment option for patients that remain congested while on standard-of-care therapies.
