Brief summary
This clinical study is a multicenter, prospective non-randomized observational study without concurrent or matched controls in which 150 patients receiving an SJM® Rigid Saddle Ring will be included. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the SJM® Rigid Saddle Ring when used in mitral valve repair procedures.
Interventions
