Volume Optimization Incorporating Negative Pressure Diuresis in Heart Failure (VOID-HF)

The Cardiorenal Syndrome during Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy is associated with remarkable morbidity, which can include the need for renal dialysis or ultrafiltration, an increased length of stay, and high mortality rates. The aims and purpose of this feasibility clinical research trial are: 1. to evaluate the safety profiles associated with performing negative pressure diuresis for the treatment of hypervolemia associated with the cardiorenal syndrome during ADHF with persistent congestion despite high dose IV diuretic therapy via the investigational JuxtaFlow® System, and 2. to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational JuxtaFlow System in treatment of hypervolemia associated with ADHF.
