The Procedure
Implanting a V-Wave™ Ventura Interatrial Shunt
The V-Wave Ventura Interatrial Shunt is implanted across a patient’s interatrial septum using a right-sided femoral catheterization procedure. The procedure is conducted with fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance (TEE and/or ICE). Radiocontrast administration is not required during implantation.

Aligned with Other Structural Heart Procedures
Implanting the V-Wave Ventura Interatrial Shunt is a quick procedure ~80 minutes, including study data collection post-implant.1 The procedure time is inline with other structural heart procedures such as Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) closure (~60 minutes) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure (1-2 hours) procedures.2,3,4
A New Option for HFrEF Treatment
The V-Wave Ventura Interatrial Shunt offers a safe approach to reducing heart failure hospitalizations in patients with Class III symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%) through a standard trans-catheter procedure.1
