Thoracic Duct Drainage Port for Congestive Heart Failure Patients
.png)
Patients with impaired lymphatic drainage need a way to reduce volume overload and provide continuous access to lymphatic fluid to enable therapeutic intervention
Why hasn't anyone done this before?
Due to the thoracic duct’s intricate anatomy and limited imaging capabilities, current treatment approaches rely primarily on pharmacological therapy or invasive procedures.
-
Enables effective lymphatic drainage via the thoracic duct (~3.34 L/day), supporting clinical intervention
-
Lymphatic-specific catheter with Dacron cuff ensures secure, stable device placement
Device Claims:
-
Improves outcomes in HF patients with lymphatic volume overload
-
Addresses a $1B+ market of diuretic-resistant HF patients, meeting a significant unmet need
