VAPorized Administration of Bumetanide for Outpatient Relief in Heart Failure (VAPOR-HF)

January 21, 2026 updated by: Prisma Health-Upstate

Acute Hemodynamic and Blood Volume Effects of Single-Dose Intranasal Bumetanide in Patients Implanted With the CardioMEMS™ and Cordella™ HF Systems: a 24-Hour Prospective Pilot Study

This trial is seeking to determine whether a single 4mg intranasal dose of bumetanide acutely reduces pulmonary artery pressure and blood volume in the outpatient setting for patients with heart failure and an implanted device for remote patient monitoring (i.e. Cordella or CardioMEMS).
