NCT ID: NCT00881777 Terminated - Heart Failure Clinical Trials

Feasibility Study of Radiofrequency Heating of Cardiac Infarction Scar to Treat Heart Failure

RECOVER
Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and potential effectiveness of a new surgical procedure for treating heart failure. The experimental treatment is performed during standard coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and applies radiofrequency energy to heat a portion of the damaged heart muscle. The tissue heating reduces the enlarged heart of patients suffering from ischemic heart failure, and may result in the heart pumping blood more efficiently, thereby improving the functional status of the patient.
