Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with NYHA class III HFrEF (LVEF ≤ 35%) who were implanted with BAROSTIM NEO within the prior 30 days and meet CE-Mark indications without listed contraindications.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications such as bilateral carotid bifurcations above the mandible, severe baroreflex/autonomic disorders, uncontrolled bradyarrhythmias, carotid atherosclerosis >50%, or carotid ulcers may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This observational registry enrolls up to 500 adults with heart failure and LVEF ≤ 35% who were implanted with the BAROSTIM NEO System within the last 30 days, across up to 50 sites. Data are collected from standard-of-care measurements before implantation, at enrollment, and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-implant to understand outcomes after device therapy. Enrollment is limited to CE-mark indicated patients without specified contraindications, with follow-up through 12 months. The study aims to describe real-world safety and effectiveness signals of BAROSTIM therapy in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Participants may gain better understanding of how BAROSTIM therapy performs in real-world heart failure care over 12 months.

How similar studies have gone: Previous real-world registries of BAROSTIM therapy have provided signals on safety and device performance, though this setting is observational and device-specific.
