A Study to Evaluate the Corvia Medical, Inc. IASD® System II to Reduce Elevated Left Atrial Pressure in Patients With Heart Failure
Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled, Blinded Trial, with a Non-implant Control group; 1:1 randomization.
Following supine bicycle exercise testing to assess eligibility, the eligible patients are
randomized to the treatment or control group.
All patients will be sedated, and both treatment and control arm patients will undergo
placement of a femoral venous access sheath after randomization.
Patients randomized to the treatment arm will undergo a fluoroscopically and intra-cardiac
echocardiography (ICE), or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided trans-septal
puncture and IASD System II implant procedure. Patients randomized to the control arm will
undergo ICE from the femoral vein or TEE for examination of the atrial septum and left
atrium.
Patients will be evaluated at pre-specified time intervals and followed for 5 years.
All patients will be unblinded after the 24 month follow up visit.

SELECT INCLUSION CRITERIA
- Chronic symptomatic Heart Failure (HF) documented by one or more of the following:
- Symptoms of HF requiring current treatment with diuretics for ≥ 30 days AND
- NYHA class II with a history of > NYHA class II; OR NYHA class III, or ambulatory
NYHA class IV symptoms (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, dyspnea on mild
or moderate exertion) at screening; or signs (any rales post cough, chest x-ray
demonstrating pulmonary congestion,) within past 12 months; AND
- ≥ 1 HF hospital admission (with HF as the primary, or secondary diagnosis); or
treatment with intravenous (IV), or intensification of oral diuresis for HF in a
healthcare facility within the 12 months prior to study entry; OR an NT-pro BNP

fibrillation within the past 6 months.
- Ongoing stable GDMT HF management and management of potential comorbidities according
to the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for the management of Heart Failure (with no
significant changes [>100% increase or 50% decrease], excluding diuretic dose change
for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to screening) that is expected to be maintained without
change for 6 months
