Atrial Flow Regulator for Postcapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: First-in-Human Transcatheter AFR Device Implantations in RCM

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options apart from heart transplantation (HTx). We report on the first-in-human interventional atrial flow regulator (AFR) implantations in 3 children with RCM, leading to marked clinical and hemodynamic improvement. We prop...

We report on the first-in-human interventional atrial flow regulator (AFR) implantations in 3 children with RCM, leading to marked clinical and hemodynamic improvement. We propose the AFR as bridge to HTx or destination therapy in RCM. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.) © 2022 The Authors
