REFORM-HF. REducing Fluid Overload using Renal Independent systeM in Heart Failure Patients
Recruiting
This research study is designed to evaluate a new treatment approach for patients with chronic heart failure. This study will assess the effectiveness and safety of a new medical device, the AquaPass system, in managing the accumulation of fluids in the body that persists despite standard medical treatment. The purpose of this study is to understand if the use of the AquaPass System with medication treatment results in increased fluid removal compared to only regular medication treatment.
