Brief Summary
FLOW-HF will assess the impact of intermittent partial occlusion of the SVC and/or IVC, the cardiac filling pressure and the difference of effects between the two occlusion locations (SVC and IVC) using the FlowMod flow modulating device on select parameters in subjects experiencing ADHF (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Freedom from device- or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days post procedure
Freedom from device- or procedure-related major adverse events (MAEs) through 30 days post procedure defined as: death, myocardial infarction, major thromboembolic event, vascular damage requiring surgical intervention, hemorrhagic stroke, or prolongation of heart failure-related hospitalization, attributable to the FlowMod device or procedure
Through 30 days post procedure
Secondary Outcomes (16)

Study Arms (1)
FlowMod System in subjects with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF)
EXPERIMENTALParticipant with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) while the FlowMod System reduces preloading of the heart.
Interventions
The FlowMod System is used in subjects with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) for limiting blood flow in the inferior and superior vena cava vessels to the right heart to reduce preloading of the heart.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or females between 18 and 85 years of age
- NYHA Class III-IV heart failure
- Stage C-D systolic heart failure
- Clinically indicated for right heart catheterization
- Volume overload status of the subject confirmed by the presence of at least 1 or more of the following congestion signs or symptoms assessed by physical examination or x-ray: Peripheral edema, rales, jugular venous distension, abdominal distension or evidence of congestion by chest x-ray
- Subjects with RAP \>10 mmHg
- Subjects with PCWP \>18 mmHg
- Subjects with inadequate diuresis defined as total urinary output over the most recent 8 hours prior to enrollment of \<1200 mL while on a stable dose of diuretics
- Subjects with eGFR \>30mL/min/1.732
You may not qualify if:
- Severe valvular stenosis
- Severe aortic valve regurgitation
- Subjects with a contraindication to contrast dye
- Active myocardial ischemia (MI) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
- ACS or MI within 30 days prior to enrollment
- Contraindication to unfractionated heparin
- Unable to provide informed consent
- Subjects with impaired decision-making capacity
- Subjects receiving mechanical circulatory support
- Subjects with history of cardiac transplant
- Pregnant subjects
- Right atrial/ventricular thrombus
- Subjects with inadequate jugular vein access due to prior jugular vein thrombosis or indwelling chronic ports or catheters or presence of vena cava filter
- Inability to tolerate right heart catheterization
- Subjects who have a history of major or minor stroke or TIA ≤ 12 months or subjects with a history of stroke \> 12 months who have a residual neurological deficit
- +20 more criteria
