Chronic heart failure (HF) is characterized by limited exercise capacity driven in part by an excessive elevation of cardiac filling pressures. 1 The short-term blockade of splanchnic nerves with anesthetics and long-term blockade with surgical resection or catheter-based ablation has proven to be safe and effective in reducing exercise-induced pressure elevation in patients with HF. 2–5 These interventions also improved the functional capacity of patients with HF. 2–5 We aimed to investigate the proposed mechanisms-of-action, including changes in vascular capacity with reduced blood volume shifts from the abdomen to the thorax, and vascular decongestion through an improved cardiorenal function. 6 We tested these mechanisms-of-action using a novel, minimally-invasive long-term splanchnic nerve block (SNB) with botulinum toxin.The present study was a prospective, open-label, single-arm interventional study in patients with chronic HF. Eligible patients had a baseline pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)≥ 25 mmHg with exercise. Patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing with invasive hemodynamic assessment, followed by percutaneous unilateral SNB with botulinum toxin (100 Units, not more than 1.5 Units/kg). Subsequently, patients underwent serial testing at 2, 4 and 8 weeks with repeat supine cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Invasive hemodynamics with exercise were repeated at the 4-week exam only. At each exam we repeated non-invasive metrics of whole body and lung water content. Measures requiring radiotracers such as blood volume analysis and radioplethysmography were repeated at the 4-week exam only.
