CORVIA® ATRIAL SHUNT SYSTEM

A Novel Treatment for Symptomatic Heart Failure

The only direct treatment for high left atrial pressures (LAP)

The Corvia Atrial Shunt is about the size of a dime.

The Corvia Atrial Shunt is a novel, minimally invasive cardiac implant for patients suffering from Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) or Mildy Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFmrEF). Designed to reduce elevated LAP, the primary contributor to HF symptoms, the Corvia Atrial Shunt offers the most advanced therapeutic option for HF patients with an EF≥40%.

The Corvia Atrial Shunt is the most widely studied interatrial shunt for heart failure. It has been implanted in over 600 patients worldwide, and more than 150 patients have had the shunt for over 5 years.1

Dynamic Decompression

Atrial shunting safely relieves the high pressures that cause HF symptoms by connecting the two upper chambers of the heart. This connection allows the heart to dynamically decompress by directing blood from the left to right atrium on demand, thereby reducing HF symptoms.

HOW IT WORKS

The Corvia Atrial Shunt is implanted via a minimally invasive procedure. During this procedure, an interventional cardiologist or electrophysiologist inserts a catheter (small tube) in a vein near the groin to access the heart. This catheter is then used to create a very small passage in the heart wall between the right and left atria where the shunt is placed. The newly created passage allows blood to flow from the high pressure left atrium to the lower pressure right atrium. As a result, the pressure in the left side of the heart and the lungs decreases, and heart failure symptoms are reduced.

WATCH HOW IT WORKS

By facilitating continuous and dynamic decompression of the left atrium, the Corvia Atrial Shunt is intended to reduce heart failure hospitalizations and improve heart failure symptoms and quality of life.2
