Abstrakt: Background: Ablation of the right-sided greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) can reduce excessive splanchnic vasoconstriction, potentially improving the handling of volume shifts in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess a novel catheter procedure of right-sided GSN ablation to treat HFpEF: splanchnic ablation for volume management.
Methods: This trial included 11 HFpEF patients (8 women, age 70 ± 8 years) with New York Heart Association functional class II or III symptoms, ejection fraction ≥50%, and elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure at rest or with exercise. After splanchnic ablation for volume management, follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months included 6-minute walk test, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), and echocardiography.
Results: There were no device-related adverse cardiac events or clinical sequelae following right GSN ablation through 12 months. Patients experienced clinical improvements by 1 month that were sustained through 12 months. KCCQ score improved from baseline median 48 (IQR: 35-52) to 65 (IQR: 58-77) at 1 month and 80 (IQR: 77-88) at 12 months (P < 0.05). The 6-minute walk test distance increased from baseline 292 ± 82 m to 341 ± 88 m at 1 month and 359 ± 75 m at 12 months (P < 0.05). The NT-proBNP decreased from a baseline mean of 1,292 ± 1,186 pg/mL to 1,202 ± 797 pg/mL (P = 0.585) at 1 month, to 472 ± 226 pg/mL (P = 0.028) at 6 months, and to 379 ± 165 pg/mL (P = 0.039) at 12 months.
Conclusions: In this open-label, single-arm feasibility study, right-sided GSN ablation was safe and improved mostly subjective clinical metrics in patients with HFpEF over 12 months. (Endovascular GSN Ablation in Subjects With HFpEF; NCT04287946).
