SCD for CRS in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) (No Left Ventricular Assist Device)

Pilot Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of a Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) to Treat Patients With NYHA Stage III or IV Heart Failure (HF) With Persistent Congestion and Worsening Renal Function as a Result of Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) That is Resistant to Optimal Medical Therapy Including Loop Diuretics

The purpose of this clinical trial is to see if a new device (SCD) is safe and if it can reduce damage to the kidney enough to allow medications to work to improve heart and kidney function for use in patients that have moderate to severe heart failure and is at least in part due to heart failure and it not responding to standard medical therapy. The SCD is a cartridge used with a commercial hemodialysis unit. Participants will be enrolled in the clinical trial once eligibility is confirmed. In addition to clinical assessments and laboratory testing participants will have surface echocardiograms during the trial. The SCD treatment will take place for 4 hours on day 1, 3, and 5 while on hemodialysis.
