Splanchnic Nerve Blockade in Chronic Heart Failure. Splanchnic CHF
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating splanchnic nerve anesthesia with a local anesthetic for Heart Failure. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with chronic heart failure and undergoing right heart catheterization will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will undergo catheterization of the heart to obtain central cardiac pressure and other cardiac hemodynamic parameters. Subsequently, the subject will undergo a regional nerve block of the splanchnic nerves. This study will be a prospective, uncontrolled clinical trial. The study will not be controlled as invasive monitoring of hemodynamics will be performed, allowing clear demonstration of a cause-effect relationship. The goal of the study is to provide proof of concept. Patients will undergo detailed physiological testing.
