Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ? Adults from 18 to 80 years of age, inclusive; either gender ? Symptomatic functional MR of grade moderate to severe (2 to 4 as per the ACC and AHA 2006 Classification of Mitral regurgitation evaluation NYHA Class II to IV ? LVEF 25%-50% ? Normal mitral valve leaflets ? Subject is willing and available to return for study follow up ? Surgical approach is the treatment option ? Ability of the subject or legal representative to understand and provide signed consent for participating in the study
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: ? Subjects will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria ? Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the device materials ? History or presence of rheumatic heart disease ? Structural abnormality of the mitral valve (e.g. flail leaflets, ruptured or elongated chordae, prolapsed valve, perforated valve leaflets) ? Severe pulmonary hypertension, defined by pulmonary artery systolic (PAS) pressure greater than or equal to 60 mm Hg ? Severe diastolic dysfunction of left ventricle on ECHO [restrictive filling pattern, characterized by E>> A, decreased IVRT, and decreased DT as seen with restrictive cardiomyopathies with LV ejection fractions of > 40%) ? Transmural myocardial infarction [MI] with in 30 days of enrollment in the study; non ST segment elevation MI within 7days of enrollment in the study ? Currently enrolled in another investigational drug or device study ? Subjects with heart size outside of offered BACE device size ranges [25 to 41 cm; correlate to pre-op measurement end diastolic dimension] ? Previous mitral valve surgery or other previous cardiac surgery that would preclude proper placement of the BACE ? Abnormal coronary or cardiac anatomy such that the device could not be placed without interfering with those anatomical structures ? Abnormalities in the mitral valve leaflets that would necessitate mitral valve reconstruction or replacement ? Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery ? Acute active infection ? Active peptic ulcer ? History of IV drug abuse ? Chronic renal failure requiring dialysis ? Creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL ? Open chest surgery contraindication [e.g., acute respiratory distress, endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis] ? Immune suppression therapy ? Subjects with chronic connective tissue disease ? Investigator judgment that body habitus or sternal anatomy precludes pericardial access ? Females who are pregnant or lactating ? Life expectancy of less than 12 months due to conditions other than cardiac status
