About this study

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.

Sponsor: Abbott Medical Devices

You may qualify if…

  • 1. Subject has provided written informed consent by signing the study Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any clinical investigation-related procedure
  • 2. LVEF ≤30% and Cardiac Index ≤ 2.5 L/min/m²
  • 3. Limited functional status as demonstrated by 6MWT ≤ 350 m due to HF related reasons OR peak VO2 ≤ 14 mL/kg/min (or \<50% of predicted peak VO2 value)
  • 4. NYHA Class IIIB or NYHA Class IV
  • 5. Subject has ≥ 1 Heart Failure Hospitalization in the last 12 months
  • 6. Subject is already implanted with a CardioMEMS PA Sensor OR willing to undergo a CardioMEMS PA Sensor implant
  • 7. Subject is willing and able to be implanted with the HM3 LVAS if randomized to HM3 Group
  • Randomization Criteria:

You may not qualify if…

  • 1. Subject is \< 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
  • 2. Dependent on IV inotrope in the last 30 days.
  • 3. Contra-indications to HM3 LVAS or CardioMEMS HF system.
  • 4. Etiology of HF due to or associated with uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, amyloidosis, or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
  • 5. Technical obstacles to LVAD or CardioMEMS implantation which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the implanter.
  • 6. Existence of ongoing MCS.
  • 7. Presence of mechanical aortic valve that will not be either converted to a bioprosthesis or oversewn at the time of LVAD implant.
  • 8. History of any solid organ transplant.
