Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimizing guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and monitoring congestion in patients with heart failure (HF) are key to disease management and preventing hospitalizations. A pulmonary artery pressure (PAP)-guided HF management system providing access to body weight, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, PAP, and symptoms, may provide new insights into the effects of patient engagement and comprehensive care for remote GDMT titration and congestion management. METHODS The PROACTIVE-HF study was originally approved in 2018 as a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind, multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Cordella PAP Sensor in patients with HF and with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III symptoms. Since then, robust clinical evidence supporting PAP-guided HF management has emerged, making clinical equipoise and enrolling patients into a standard-of-care control arm challenging. Therefore, PROACTIVE-HF was changed to a single-arm trial in 2021 with prespecified safety and effectiveness endpoints to provide evidence for a similar risk/benefit profile as the CardioMEMS HF System. CONCLUSION The single-arm PROACTIVE-HF trial is expected to further demonstrate the benefits of PAP-guided HF management of patients with NYHA class III HF. The addition of vital signs, patient engagement and self-reported symptoms may provide new insights into remote GDMT titration and congestion management.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this prospective, controlled, randomized, single-center study, we investigated the safety of repetitive large-dose infusion of a novel hydroxyethyl starch solution (6% HES 130/0.4) in cranio-cerebral trauma patients. Patients were randomized to receive either HES 130/0.4 (n = 16) at repetitive doses of up to 70 mL x kg(-1) x d(-1) (which is the largest HES dose reported in the literature) or the control HES 200/0.5 (n = 15) up to its approved dose limit of 33 mL x kg(-1) x d(-1) followed by human albumin up to a total dose (HES 200/0.5 + albumin) of 70 mL x kg(-1) x d(-1). We found no differences between groups in mortality, renal function, bleeding complications, and use of blood products. There were also no major differences in coagulation variables. However, at some time points, factor VIII, von Willebrand factor, and ristocetin cofactor were higher in the HES 130/0.4 group despite the large HES doses administered. We conclude that HES 130/0.4 can safely be used in critically ill head trauma patients over several days at doses of up to 70 mL x kg(-1) x d(-1). IMPLICATIONS There are concerns that infusion of certain hydroxyethyl starch (HES) types for plasma volume expansion may influence coagulation and renal function. We investigated the safety of the novel HES 130/0.4 in patients with severe cranio-cerebral trauma. The repetitive HES doses administered in this study are the largest reported in the literature.
