Study Summary and Description
Acorn MVR Evaluation of a heart failure therapy involving surgical implant of a textile mesh wrap, known as the CorCapTM Cardiac Support Device (Acorn CardiovascularTM, St. Paul, MN). The CorCapTM CSD is designed to provide support and relieve stress to the muscle wall associated with advancing heart failure. It is intended to prevent and reverse the progression of heart failure by improving the heart's structure and function, leading to improvements in patient quality of life. www.heartfailureclinicalstudy.com
