First-in-Human Implantable Inferior Vena Cava Sensor for Remote Care in Heart Failure
This first-in-human experience demonstrated that the implantation of an IVC sensor was safe and feasible. Sensor-derived IVC area demonstrated excellent correlation with CT-derived IVC area, and exploratory clinical outcomes suggest that this may serve as a novel tool for ambulatory management of congestion to facilitate remote care in HF.
