RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL

Trial to Evaluate Safety And Effectiveness of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Patients With Advancing Heart Failure

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The purpose of TEAM-HF IDE clinical trial is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the HeartMate 3 LVAS compared to guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) in a population of ambulatory advanced heart failure patients who are not dependent on intravenous inotrope.

Treatments Being Tested

DEVICE

CardioMEMS HF System

The CardioMEMS™ HF System is comprised of a lead-less and battery-less pressure sensor which remotely transmits pulmonary artery pressure measurements.

DEVICE

HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System

The HeartMate 3 LVAS is a mechanical circulatory support pump with Full MagLev Technology that assumes some or all of the workload of the left ventricle. The HeartMate 3 LVAS is used in advanced heart failure patients needing short or long-term mechanical circulatory support.

OTHER

Guideline Medical Directed Therapy

Optimal doses of medical therapy per established heart failure guidelines which includes the following stable combination of Beta Blockers, ACE-inhibitors or ARB or ARNi, MRA and SGLT2 inhibitors.
