Clinical Trial Summary

Mitral Valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for primary Mitral Regurgitation. Implantation of artificial Gore-Tex chordae (or neochordae implantation) is often used for MVr. The NeoChord DS1000 (NeoChord Inc., Minneapolis, USA) is a device designed to deploy neochordae through transapical access in a beating heart and without cardiopulmonary bypass. NeoChord System is CE marked and therefore authorized for use in Europe. Procedure is conducted under 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. The device is introduced through the apex of the left ventricular (LV) and the prolapsed leaflet is grabbed and harpooned. The neochordae are thus stretched between the valve and the LV apex. Neochordae length can be precisely adapted to restore a normal coaptation, to treat the regurgitation. Recently, the principal investigator's teams (heart surgery department at Hospices Civils de Lyon and Laboratoire de Génie Electrique et Ferromagnétique lab at Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) de Lyon, France) created a platform allowing the measurement of the tension applied on neochordae during a NeoChord procedure. A dedicated protocol was designed and approved by the ethical committee of the French Society of Cardiology. The measurement was performed in 7 patients. This preliminary study shows that the technic is safe. It also suggests that chordal tension might be correlated to the quality of MVr: the sub-valvular apparatus appears to be in a low stress state when the structure and the function of the valve are restored. These first findings raise new questions: 1. The mechanism involved in the changes in tensions during chordal length adjustment cannot be understood with current standard medical imaging tools. Numerical simulation technologies could bring physical data in order to approach physical phenomenon underlying these findings. 2. Novel chordal tension measurement tools could lead to a change in current paradigm enabling a MVr based on objective data measurement, instead of sole morphological analysis. Prognostic value of chordal tension must be studied through a larger clinical study and a systematic protocol. A large consortium involving physicians and scientists has been created to address those questions, and a large national funding has been raised to fulfil our objectives over a 4 years period (SIMR project). The present clinical study is the core of this large project.
