Brief summary

Prospective single-arm study of the AccuCinch® Ventriculoplasty System in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation through subvalvular mitral repair. Purpose: To demonstrate the safety, feasibility and potential efficacy of using the AccuCinch® Ventriculoplasty System to reduce mitral valve regurgitation through subvalvular mitral repair.

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 18 years * Severity of FMR: ≥ Moderate (i.e., 2+) * Ejection Fraction: ≥ 20% to ≤60% * Symptom Status: NYHA II-IVa * Treatment and compliance with optimal guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure for at least 1 month * Surgical risk: Subject is eligible for cardiac surgery (specific EuroSCORE (LES or ESII), STS, or comorbidities should demonstrate high risk features) * Completion of all qualifying diagnostic and functional tests and agrees to comply with study follow-up schedule

Exclusion criteria

* Significant organic mitral valve pathology (e.g. myxomatous degeneration, mitral valve prolapse or flail leaflets) * Myocardial infarction or any percutaneous cardiovascular intervention, cardiovascular surgery, or carotid surgery within 30 days * Prior surgical, transcatheter, or percutaneous mitral valve intervention * Untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring revasularization * Hemodynamic instability: Hypotension (systolic pressure \<90 mmHg) or requirement for inotropic support or mechanical hemodynamic support * Any planned cardiac surgery within the next 6 months (including right heart procedures) * NYHA class (i.e., non-ambulatory) or ACC/AHA Stage D heart failure * Fixed pulmonary artery systolic pressure \>70 mmHg * Severe tricuspid regurgitation (per ASE guidelines and graded by the Echo Core Lab) * Modified Rankin Scale ≥ 4 disability * Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, or any other structural heart disease causing heart failure other than dilated cardiomyopathy of either ischemic or non-ischemic etiology * Mitral valve area less than 4.0 cm2 * Anatomical pathology/contraints preventing appropriate access/ implant of the AccuCinch System * Renal insufficiency (i.e., eGFR of \<30ml/min/1.73m2 ; Stage 4 or 5 CKD) * Moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis or regurgitation or aortic valve prosthesis Fluoroscopic or echocardiographic evidence of severe aortic arch calcification, mobile aortic atheroma, intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation * Active bacterial endocarditis * History of stroke within the prior 3 months * Subjects in whom anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy is contraindicated * Known allergy to nitinol, polyester, or polyethylene * Any prior true anaphylactic reaction to contrast agents; defined as known anaphylactoid or other non-anaphylactic allergic reactions to contrast agents that cannot be adequately pre-medicated prior to the index procedure. * Life expectancy \< 1 year due to non-cardiac conditions * Currently participating in another interventional investigational study * Implant or revision of any rhythm management device (CRT or CRTD) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator within 1 month * Absence of CRT with class I indication criteria for biventricular pacing (left bundle branch block pattern and QRS duration ≥150 ms) * On high dose steroids or immunosuppressant therapy * Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating
