De-Stress the Heart
Introducing SAVM: Splanchnic Ablation for Volume Management
Treating a root cause of Heart Failure, rather than just the signs and symptoms.
Using the Axon™ Ablation System, SAVM unilaterally ablates the Greater Splanchnic Nerve to calm sympathetic activity with the goal of normalizing volume balance, increasing cardiac functional capacity and improving symptoms for heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
The Problem
A hallmark of heart failure progression is an overactive sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The SAVM procedure aims to calm sympathetic nerve activity and address a root cause of heart failure.
The SAVM Procedure
During the implant-free procedure, the Axon Ablation Catheter is inserted into the femoral vein, navigated through the venous system to a target vessel near the right greater splanchnic nerve.
Once there, the vessel is treated with targeted ablation therapy to block nerve signals, diminishing sympathetic activity and normalizing volume balance in the body.
The outpatient procedure can typically be performed in under an hour.
