Clinical trial for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Official title Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Using the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension System
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04555161
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study is looking to find out whether the Aria CV system is safe and works well for patients with pulmonary hypertension and right‑heart dysfunction.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have pulmonary arterial hypertension or other pulmonary hypertension and problems with the right side of the heart.
- What's involved
- Participants will have the Aria CV system placed and will undergo regular check‑ups and tests to monitor safety and how the device performs.
