Clinical Trial Summary

The Munich Trascatheter Mitral Valve System is intended for beating heart, mitral valve replacement in patients with a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning mitral valve. Access is provided through the Femoral Vein and transseptal approach by means of a 27Fr catheter. The bioprosthetic valve consists of a self-expanding, tri-leaflet, dry bovine-pericardial valve. The dry tissue allows the valve to be conveniently pre-loaded. The valve is available in three sizes and has been designed to reduce the complexity of implantation in comparison to other TMVR systems.

Description:

This is a prospective multicenter clinical investigation designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Munich TMVR System in a population of patients with moderate to severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation, who are not suitable for surgical treatments. Patients who meet all of the study inclusion criteria, will be treated with the Munich valve. After the intervention, patients will be followed up closely for 12 months. Long term safety and efficacy data will be collected annually up to 5 years.

Intervention

Device:
• MUNICH TRANSCATHETER MITRAL VALVE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
The replacement valve consists of a self-expanding, tri-leaflet, dry bovine -pericardial valve. The dry tissue allows the valve to be conveniently pre-loaded. The key characteristics of Munich valve are: Nitinol stent frame Bovine pericardium Polyester skirt Anchoring system allows anchoring the frame to the annulus Hooks are used to reduce the mobility of the native leaflets and decrease risk of embolization. The Munich TMVR system design proposed for this clinical investigation represents a significant evolution from previous TMVR designs: Transfemoral / transseptal access Self-expanding Dry pericardium (can be pre-loaded) No anchors 27 Fr delivery catheter ( Sizes: 40/48/55mm Height 30 mm The valve is available in 3 sizes with a 30mm profile and has been designed to reduce the complexity of implantation in comparison to other TMVR systems.
