Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to assess invasive and non-invasive parameters that may predict clinical improvement in patients with congestive heart failure after implantation of Occlutech® Atrial flow regulator (AFR) device.
