Why the study?
Is the implantation of an IVC sensor safe and feasible for remote care in heart failure patients?
Is the implantation of an IVC sensor safe and feasible for remote care in heart failure patients?
A novel implantable IVC sensor (FIRE1 System) is safe, feasible, and accurately correlates with CT imaging for remote congestion monitoring in heart failure.

Supports IVC sensor development for HF monitoring; leaves open clinical utility and outcomes in larger trials.
This first-in-human experience demonstrated that the implantation of an IVC sensor was safe and feasible. Sensor-derived IVC area demonstrated excellent correlation with CT-derived IVC area, and exploratory clinical outcomes suggest that this may serve as a novel tool for ambulatory management of congestion to facilitate remote care in HF.
