V-Wave shunt has been designated by FDA as a Breakthrough device technology and is uniquely designed to reduce left atrial pressure while minimizing thromboembolic events that have historically seen atrial septal defects. Episodic elevations of left atrial pressure cause worsening symptoms of difficulty ...
Our technology enables the creation of a therapeutic interatrial shunt, intended to offload elevated left atrial pressure in properly indicated HFpEF/HFmrEF patients, without the need for a permanent cardiac implant. ...
“V-Wave has developed a novel technology that modifies the physiology of HF by reducing left atrial and pulmonary artery pressures in a continuous, real-time manner without any intervention by the patient or a caregiver. Heart failure is not a static disease and patients’ pressures and symptoms vary from day to day or week to week. ...
For decades, we have been managing severe heart failure, both preserved and reduced ejection fraction, using diuretics to modify total blood volume in order to control cardiac pressures. Interatrial shunting could supplement current therapies by providing a novel therapeutic approach that specifically regulates cardiac pressures and volumes. The V-Wave approach ...
