Filter by:The study is designed to demonstrate the safety, feasibility and potential efficacy of using the AccuCinch® System to reduce functional mitral regurgitation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the Mitralign Percutaneous Annuloplasty System in humans for the treatment of chronic functional mitral regurgitation. No formal test of hypothesis is proposed for this trial.
To evaluate the performance and safety of the Cardioband Adjustable Annuloplasty System for repair of functional mitral regurgitation.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most frequent valve lesions, both in North America and in Europe, and its prevalence is increasing with the aging of the population. Organic Mitral Regurgitation (OMR) and Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation are the 2 main categories of MR. Organic or primary MR is caused by an anatomic alteration of the valvular or subvalvular mitral apparatus and refers to rheumatic MR and degenerative MR that includes mitral leaflet prolapse and flail leaflet. In the past 20 years, degenerative MR has become, by far, the most frequent cause of severe MR leading to surgery in the western world. However, the best current treatment for OMR remains uncertain and controversial. We have obtained preliminary data showing that OMR is a dynamic lesion. Hence, the echocardiographic evaluation of MR at rest, as generally performed during routine clinical exam, does not necessarily reflect the status of MR during patient's daily activities and thereby does not adequately assess the risk of rapid progression and poor outcome in these patients. The objective of this study is to identify the independent predictors of disease progression and outcome in patients with asymptomatic chronic OMR and to develop and validate novel imaging and circulating biomarkers to improve risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making process in patients with chronic asymptomatic primary OMR.
To monitor the long-term performance of the CE Marked NeoChord Artificial Chordae Delivery System
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of the NeoChord DS1000 Artificial Chordae Delivery System in implanting ePTFE sutures(s) as artificial neochordae in patients with mitral regurgitation.
This trial is a randomized study of the MitraClip device in heart failure patients with clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation. A hierarchical composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent heart failure hospitalizations is hypothesized to occur at a lower rate with the use of the MitraClip device in addition to optimal standard medical therapy compared to optimal standard of care therapy alone.
The objective of this trial is to confirm that the modifications to tissue processing, valve sterilization and packaging do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness in subjects who require replacement of their native or prosthetic aortic or mitral valve.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and device performance of the Mitralign system ("MPAS") to treat functional mitral valve regurgitation.
The purpose of this study is to compare early mitral valve repair versus a watchful waiting strategy in asymptomatic patients with severe organic mitral valve regurgitation and preserved left ventricular function.
