DelIVery for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) & Continued Support Study (NCT01321073)

DelIVery for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Clinical Study

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of the DelIVery for PAH clinical study is to evaluate the safety of the Medtronic Model 10642 Implantable Intravascular Catheter when used with the Medtronic SynchroMedยฎ II Implantable Infusion System to deliver Remodulinยฎ (treprostinil) Injection. As of June 2021, PMA approval of the Implantable System for Remodulin (ISR) is no longer being pursued and development and commercialization efforts have been halted. The approximately 30 subjects still implanted with the PIVoT system require a pathway for continued support. This protocol is amended and is designed to allow such ongoing support.
