Details

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Nov. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHF Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHFS), today announced that it will release an educational webinar featuring the clinical use of the Aquadex FlexFlow system following cardiovascular surgery in patients who have failed diuretic therapy.  The webinar will be viewable on the company’s website, https://www.chf-solutions.com/aquapheresis-training-program/ on November 15, 2018 beginning at 12:00 PM ET.

The 17-minute pre-recorded webinar is designed to provide a peer-to-peer overview of the issues associated with fluid overload in the post-cardiac surgery context.  It is facilitated by Daniel Beckles, M.D., Ph.D., Director of minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery at the UHS Heart and Vascular Institute, Vestal, N.Y.  Topics covered include:

• Trends in adult cardiovascular surgery
• Complications resulting from cardiovascular surgery, including fluid overload
• The role of ultrafiltration in post-op cardiovascular patients
• Aquadex FlexFlow system and first-hand experience using the therapy following cardiac surgery

“Surgical patients can be challenged by fluid overload post-procedure due to the extra fluids administered during surgery or medications administered post-surgery.   When these fluids are not removed, there is increased potential risk for morbidity, mortality, and readmissions,” commented John Erb, chairman and CEO of CHF Solutions.  “This educational webinar is designed to provide medical professionals with an overview of these issues, as well as Dr. Beckles’ personal experience in working with the Aquadex FlexFlow system.  We hope it leads to further discussion and a better understanding of the post-surgical challenges and our proposed solution.”
