Brief Summary

The Cardiorenal Syndrome during Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy is associated with remarkable morbidity, which can include the need for renal dialysis or ultrafiltration, an increased length of stay, and high mortality rates. The aims and purpose of this feasibility clinical research trial are: 1. to evaluate the safety profiles associated with performing negative pressure diuresis for the treatment of hypervolemia associated with the cardiorenal syndrome during ADHF with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy via the investigational JuxtaFlow® System, and 2. to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational JuxtaFlow System in treatment of hypervolemia associated with ADHF.

Study Arms (1)

Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

JuxtaFlow

Device: JuxtaFlow System

Interventions

The JuxtaFlow System consists of proprietary ureteral catheters deployed endoscopically over the wire to deliver mild controlled negative pressure into the renal pelvis.

Eligibility Criteria

Age22 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female patients ≥22 years of age
  • Patients admitted with primary diagnosis of ADHF
  • Persistent volume overload with venous congestion despite at least 24 hours of IV diuretic therapy, including either a single bolus ≥ 100 mg or continuous drip ≥ 10 mg/hour of furosemide equivalent, where:
  • Volume overload defined by the presence of pulmonary edema, 2+ peripheral edema, or orthopnea
  • Venous congestion defined by at least one of the following:
  • i. Jugular venous pressure \> 10 cm on physical exam ii. Central venous pressure \> 10 mmHg iii. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure \> 22 mmHg c) Evidence of low natriuretic response to high dose diuretic therapy defined by spot urine sodium \< 70 mmol
  • Ability to have the JuxtaFlow® System catheters placed at bedside
  • Anticipated to have an inpatient hospital admission that is ≥ 72 hours
  • Patients that are willing and able to provide informed consent for this research trial, or if the patient is not able to provide consent due to their clinical condition, a legal guardian, spouse, or next of kin to the patient with medical power of attorney that is willing to provide consent for the patient's participation in this research trial
  • Patients who agree to comply with the study procedures and specified evaluations

You may not qualify if:

  • Females who are pregnant or nursing mothers
  • Creatinine \> 3.0 mg/dL at admission to the hospital
  • Systolic blood pressure \< 100 mmHg at the time of enrollment
  • Clinical instability likely to require the addition of intravenous vasoactive drugs, vasodilators and/or inotropic agents.
  • Alternative explanation for the renal impairment causing the persistent volume overload, such as obstructive nephropathy, contrast induced nephropathy, or acute tubular necrosis
  • Any patient with an eGFR \< 15 ml/min or prior diagnosis of CKD 5
  • Any patient presenting with hematuria as defined by urine dipstick reading of \> 1+ blood
  • Any patient presenting with proteinuria as defined by urine dipstick reading of \> 3+ protein.
  • Any patient that would not potentially benefit from this therapy in the opinion of the investigator
  • Any patient with a current upper or lower urinary tract infection (tested during pre-screening)
  • Any patient with a malignancy of the upper urinary tract
  • Any patient who are currently experiencing unexplained/unexpected proteinuria as determined by the investigator
  • Any patient with a current unrepaired ureteral avulsion as determined by the investigator
  • Any patient that would require an MRI between enrollment and completion of the post-treatment baseline period
  • Any secondary condition as determined by the investigator that would place the subject at an increased risk, or preclude the subject's full compliance with the study procedures, including injuries to the urinary organs and/or external genitals
  • +6 more criteria
